Closing jQuery Mobile new popup cause page to refresh uselessly

Question

I'm using the new jqm popup with the 1.2.0 alpha release and my problem is that my page from which I call the popup is refreshed uselessly when closing the popup using esc key or clicking on the screen... This refresh happen only the first time I close it. If I reopen and close again the popup the page is not refreshed...

It seems that for some reason jqm history mecanism get messed up....

It don't seem to be a built-in feature because this does not happen for any popup in the jqm demo page.

Any idea how to solve this issue?

Thanks
