TabView removeTab gives: Invalid attempt to destroy() an indestructible object

[dstevenson]

I'm trying to create a tabview in qml which allows the user to open and close tabs. However I'm getting an error message whenever the removeTab() function is called.

E:/Qt/Qt5.5.0/5.5/msvc2013/qml/QtQuick/Controls/TabView.qml:150: Error: Invalid attempt to destroy() an indestructible object

A minimal example to reproduce is

import QtQuick 2.3
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4

Item {
    Action {
        id: closeTabAction
        shortcut: "Ctrl+W"
        onTriggered: {
            tabView.removeTab(tabView.currentIndex);
        }
    }

    TabView {
        id: tabView
        anchors.fill: parent

        Repeater {
            model: 4
            delegate: Tab {
                title: 'tab ' + index
            }
        }
    }
}

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
David
