jQuery Mobile odd URL in IE8

When switching pages on IE8 the target URL is different than other browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and even IE10. For example: From jqm's own website:

http://view.jquerymobile.com/1.3.2/dist/demos/

When clicking on one of the widget section items, Accordion for example, the URL is properly modified on Chrome, Firefox, and IE10:

http://view.jquerymobile.com/1.3.2/dist/demos/widgets/accordions/

But on IE8 the URL becomes:

http://view.jquerymobile.com/1.3.2/dist/demos/#/1.3.2/dist/demos/widgets/accordions/

So far I haven't really noticed any different functional behavior. Is this a jqm bug or expected behavior? I'm concerned that this may cause some issues down the road.
