Finally I decided to try the current version (it would work in future anyway).
To be honest, first I tried a version built from svn sources but ran into a problem
with method value expressions, then I tried Mar 13 nightly and found that .parent returned the direct parent component not necessary the composite one (for instance h:panelGroup) - I do not think this is worth mentioning in detail because it seems fixed. Then I found theres Mar 15 nightly and tried that one. Parent works fine, but I still have problems with method expressions, I guess something simple broke, here are the details, I'll try to investigate further..
the exception:
javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: /resources/navbutton/nav.xhtml @57,122 action="#{compositeComponent.attrs.navigation.goNav}": The class 'ezcomp.NavigationHandler' does not have the property 'goNav'.

to reproduce it change nav sample to:
basic-ezcomp/nav0.xhtml
<h:form>
<ez:nav label="LABEL" navigation="#{navigation}" />
</h:form>
and basic-ezcomp/resources/navbutton/nav.xhtml to
<composite:interface>
<composite:attribute name="navigation" />
</composite:interface>
<composite:implementation>
<h:commandButton id="navbutton" action="#{compositeComponent.attrs.navigation.goNav}" value="NavButton" type="submit" />
</composite:implementation>
