Does anyone else have issues using $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] in php while using jQuery Mobile in the Android Browser?

Every time I try to use it, it displays the page of entry as $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'].

ie...

- User comes in on home.html and then goes to profile.html followed by photos.html
- On photos.html, $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] is set to home.html instead of profile.html (the true referer).

I have only found this issue to affect the Android Browser, but it's been around for a while.

Does anyone have insights into what may be happening with this particular header here?
