client side ajax error when render a primefaces datatable with f:ajax

The following error occurs if a primefaces datatable is rendered by f:ajax.

Error Message: fragment is null

--------------------------------------------------------
Error Name: clientError
Server error name: TypeError

--------------------------------------------------------
Note, this message is only sent, because project stage is development and no other error listeners are registered.

If an element outside of the table (e.g. the form) is rendered by f:ajax then it works.

I will attach a small example.

1.) Start it with e.g. tomcat 7 and VM option = -Dfaces.PROJECT_STAGE=Development
2.) call page.xhtml
3.) press the "update" button
