Form model doesn't update on autocomplete

[msgilligan]

I'm having problems with Safari 6.0 auto-complete on some simple forms
on Angular 1.0.2.

When Safari uses auto-complete to fill in the form, Angular seems to be
unaware of the new characters that were entered by auto-complete.
Please see the attached image for an example.

To reproduce:

1. Enter data into the form a few times so that auto-complete is activated.
2. Then enter a few characters that triggers an auto-complete.
3. Hit return.
4. Compare the alert message with the contents of the input field.

I've created a jsFiddle that can be used to reproduce the problem:

I've seen a similar problem when Safari 6.0 or Chrome 22.0.1229.79
automatically fills in a password field that has a 'required'
attribute. The form is not marked as valid and I have to go enter a
space after the password and then delete it.

A similar problem and Firefox 15.0.1

How would you handle this? At glance it looks like the browser isn't firing change events if the form is being populated via autofill. The first thing I can think of is to run periodic checks on the form, but that sounds very suboptimal.

Has anymore thought gone into this issue?

I switch from Knockout to Angular just to find that it has the same issue with form autocompletion.
