Rally SDK: Retrieving all available State values for Defects

I want to retrieve all available State values for Rally Defect. The following code works good for Features:

this.states = [];
    this.stateStore = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
        fields: ['_ref', 'name']
    });

    Ext.create('Rally.data.wsapi.Store', {
        model: 'State',
        autoLoad: true,
        filters: [
            {
                property: 'Enabled',
                operation: '=',
                value: true
            },
            {
                property: 'TypeDef.Name',
                operation: '=',
                value: 'Feature'
            }
        ],
        listeners: {
            load: function (store, data) {
                for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
                    this.stateStore.add({ '_ref': data[i].data._ref, 'name': data[i].data.Name });
                }
                this.statesLoaded = true;
                this._initialLoad();
            },
            scope: this
        }
    });

With this approach, we load all available State values for features. However, when I change 'Feature' TypeDef.Name filter to 'Defect', I get nothing despite the fact that there are many active States for Defect defined. Does anybody know why this happens and how get State values for Defect? Maybe Defects use some other states, not like features, suer stories etc?

In WS API there is a full State object that represents State of PortfolioItems. It is different from the State or ScheduleState of such artifacts as Defect or UserStory, which are only string values in the dropdown field. There is no such thing as State.Name for a Defect.

Using promises, this may look like this:

launch: function(){
    this._getModel().then({
        success: this._getAllowedValues,
        scope:this
    }).then({//...})
},

 _getModel:function(){
        return Rally.data.ModelFactory.getModel({
            type:'Defect'
        });
    },

 _getAllowedValues:function(model){
        var deferred = Ext.create('Deft.Deferred');
        var allowedStateValues = [];
        model.getField('State').getAllowedValueStore().load({
            callback: function(records,operation,success){
                Ext.Array.each(records,function(allowedValue){
                    allowedStateValues.push(allowedValue.get('StringValue'));
                });
                if(success){
                    deferred.resolve(allowedStateValues);
                }
                else{
                    deferred.reject();
                }

            }
        }) ;
        return deferred.promise; 
    },//...

See this example that retrieves allowed values for Priority and Severity of defects. Since those allow null values, null values are removed in this app example, but State does not have null values so you may skip that step.
