jQuery Mobile & AngularJS checkboxes horizontal

Using jQuery Mobile and AngularJS together, without a plug-in but having read about it, loading jQuery first, and the two frameworks are mostly playing very nicely and quite powerful having both.

Trying to render jQuery Mobile checkboxes with 

<div data-role="fieldcontain">
  <legend>Showing more lodges slows the display</legend>
  <fieldset data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal">
      <label ng-repeat-start="(lodgekey, lodge) in data.lodges" for="chooser_{{lodgekey}}">{{lodge.lodgetitle}}</label>
      <input ng-repeat-end id="chooser_{{lodgekey}}" type="checkbox" ng-model="lodge.selected" />
    </div>
  </fieldset>
</div>

Problem is that jQuery Mobile finishes setting up the checkbox as a button prior to Angular doing the repeat. So the repeated checkboxes stack up vertically even though I have used data-type="horizontal" in the fieldset, and each show as first/last orphan - which they are before AngularJS does its ngRepeat. Viewing the code example at http://demos.jquerymobile.com/1.0a4.1/docs/forms/forms-checkboxes.html and looking at the rendered DOM shows the way it should render.

My solution so far has been to reproduce the jQuery Mobile form using Angular, but this is not ideal, here is my code:

<div data-role="fieldcontain" id="lodge-chooser">
  <legend>Showing more lodges slows the display</legend>
  <fieldset data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal" class="ui-corner-all ui-controlgroup ui-controlgroup-horizontal">
    <div class="ui-checkbox" ng-repeat="(lodgekey, lodge) in data.lodges">
      <label ng-class="{'ui-btn-active':lodge.selected, 'ui-corner-left':$first, 'ui-corner-right':$last}" for="{{lodgekey}}">{{lodge.lodgetitle}}</label>
      <input id="{lodgekey}}" type="checkbox" ng-model="lodge.selected" />
    </div>
  </fieldset>
</div>

and CSS:

/* remove incorrect rounded corners which appear on all buttons*/
div#lodge-chooser label.ui-btn.ui-corner-all {
  border-radius:0!important;
}

/* reinstate rounded corners in correct places */
div#lodge-chooser label.ui-btn.ui-corner-left {
  border-bottom-left-radius:inherit!important;
  border-top-left-radius:inherit!important;
}
div#lodge-chooser label.ui-btn.ui-corner-right {
  border-bottom-right-radius:inherit!important;
  border-top-right-radius:inherit!important;
}

This works, noting that the div.ui-checkbox is nested redundantly because jQuery Mobile still adds it in but my addition provides the styles needed and the extra nested div doesn't appear to do any harm.
