The Bindable etc, are included in the main build.

whiteboard/frameworks/build_framework.xml

In the core, framework and mx targets.

<compc ...
    <keep-as3-metadata name="Bindable"/>
    <keep-as3-metadata name="Managed"/>
    <keep-as3-metadata name="ChangeEvent"/>
    <keep-as3-metadata name="NonCommittingChangeEvent"/>
    <keep-as3-metadata name="Transient"/>
</compc>


As far as the compiler change, I don't know.
