ui-select fails to show selection when bound to object

[willsoto]

Example plunker

In this example, I have set ui-select to iterate over people.devs and set the email of the selected person on my model. Setting this value via the actual component works as expected, ui-select will display the list and show the correct selection.

The issue occurs when setting the model via the button (Change Model). When setting the model in this way, the model updates but ui-select itself does not show the new selected item.

If I can clarify further, please let me know.

edit: The implication of this being that data coming from the server will cause ui-select not to show correctly.
