Why doesn't JQuery Mobile change to the proper URL (nav bar) when clicking on exernal links?

Why doesn't JQuery Mobile change to the proper URL (nav bar) when clicking on exernal links?

Hi everyone -
 
I just noticed that when I'm navigating around my app, the URL doesn't seem to change.  Specifically, I start on a page, default.aspx.  I've got some UL listview links.  I click on a link, for instance, "product_list.aspx".  The page renders with the list of products, however the URL in the Navigation Bar stays as /default.aspx!!!
 
Since I'm using .NET, this causes all sorts of havoc when I try to click on "pager" links (they do a postback to the local page, however, they think the local page is "/default.aspx", NOT the correct "product_list.aspx", rendering paging, sorting, etc completely broken...
 
I've seen some discussion about JM's handling of relative urls, and am wondering if this has anything to do it?  If so, any idea when it will be fixed?
 
I'm using mobile 1.0a3, and jquery 1.5.1.
 
Thanks!
 
Also, if the Jquery Team is reviewing this, I'm also having the common problem of the "back" button not working - it works within Firefox, but on iPhones, it doesn't work.  Any suggestions would be appreciated, however it looks like this is a known bug as well.
