Radio/Check buttons not changing programmatically

It took me a while to understand that when changing the checked state programmatically, this has no influence on the jQuery UI components. Only when simulating a a click event or using the refresh method the jQuery UI state is updated. I understand that this is the expected behavior and do not really understand if this is simply a restriction of the platform but from a pure user perspective it is extremely misleading that when using jQuery functionality to change the checked state of a Radio/Check this would have the desired effect on a native control but none on an enhanced jQuery UI one.

The only solution would be to use mutation observers or polling and we're not going to implement either of those.
