afterRender event causes an error

I am trying to use the afterRender event in a custom component (below is the component markup, js handler and the error I am seeing). I have taken out all the code in the handler but I still can't get around the error. I also don't know what parameter I should be setting for value in the component markup for the handler. The documentation around afterRender is pretty sparse so wanted to see if someone in the group could help. If I remove the afterRender handler, the component shows without error.
 
Thank you.
 
<!-- COMPONENT MARKUP -->
<aura:handler name="afterRender" action="{!c.afterRender}" value="{!this}"/>
 
//js controller afterRender
afterRender: function (component, helper) {
                       
        this.superAfterRender();           
       
    }

I've got the same issue with the exact same code. Only difference is my error complains about "Cannot read property 'g' of undefined".

I am facing exact same Error , "Cannot read property 'g' of undefined". Have you find any fix ? or other way apart from using the Init & Setting definite Timeout ?

Here's a nice simple example of using afterRender. Documentation on this is conflicting and confusing.

Application (for testing purposes) 
<aura:application >
    <c:MyTestCmp />
</aura:application>
Component 
<aura:component >
    <aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.doInit}" />
</aura:component>
Controller (client-side) 
({
	doInit : function(component, event, helper) {
		alert("Init Fired!")
	}
})
Helper (not used, only posted for sake of transparency) 
({
	helperMethod : function() {
		
	}
})
Renderer 
({
    afterRender : function(component, helper) {
        this.superAfterRender();
        
        alert("After Render Fired!");
    }
})

This took a lot of experimentation, so I hope it helps someone else out there.
