This repo demonstrates an issue where an ember app consumes an ember addon that uses ember-browserify. Outside of adding the dummy addon to package.json, this repo is unchanged from the output of the standard ember app generator.
The dummy addon add just one file, an initializer that pulls in underscore at runtime.
If you run ember build in the app, you should get the following error:
$ ember build
version: 0.2.5
Build failed.
Path or pattern "browserify/browserify.js" did not match any files

This has something to do with the fact that postprocessTree is not called on ember-browserify, which is not a direct depedency of the app.
