jQM select menu fires change event when the same value is selected

In 1.0a3, I've found that a <select> menu fires the change event even when the user selects the old (current) value.

However, this only happens in styled select menus; if data-native-menu is set to true, then only modified values trigger a change event.

Is this difference in behavior by design?
