During update (callback) placeholder still exists

Description

When the update callback is called the placeholder still physically exists in the sortable and interferes with the natural order of the universe.

jQuery("#sortable").sortable({
    update: function()
    {
        jQuery(this).children().length // sortable items + placeholder

        jQuery(this).html() // sortable items + placeholder
    }
});

This is not a bug - many people rely on the placeholder/helper still being available in the update and stop callbacks. You can easily filter out the plceholder out of the set using $(this).children().not('.ui-sortable-placeholder') or the class you specified.
