Android ICS widgets - listviews goes blank randomly (when launcher restarts?) RemoteviesService bug?

Question

I've widget with listview inside and few times per day the listview items just disappears. I find out that it can be due to launcher restart - so I tried a little test. I manually restarted launcher, and it just confirmed my suspicion - it's definitely because of launcher restart.

How to deal with this? The rest of widget (buttons, listeners, ...) are working, just listview items disappear and I can't even see empty_list layout, that I defined - that's why i must add to my widget manual refresh button, but it's not very good solution...

ok except that it's ICS bug, it's partially also my fault - just always recreate widget content in onUpdate method and it will be ok ;)
