pageLoading animation never shows on iPad, only once on Android, always in Chrome

I've got a simple app that reloads a list based on whether a value has changed (in another page)

So, when the "pageshow" event triggers on the list containing page, I reload the list if needed.

When reloading this list I run:
  1. $.mobile.pageLoading();
And when done:
  1. $.mobile.pageLoading(true);

This:
  • never works on the iPad (iOS 4.2.1)
  • works once on my Nexus One (Android 2.2.2). When I reload the entire app it works again, once.
  • No matter how many times the list needs reloading, it always works in Chrome (9.0.597.98).

This seems like a quite basic feature that ought to work on all of the mentioned platforms.
Do more people see this and is a bug report required?
