ABS 4 beta bug

The split action bar is used on non-narrow screens, e.g. in landscape mode or on tablets.

1. Use uiOptions="splitActionBarWhenNarrow" on an activity as mentioned in the ['Using split action bar' developers guide](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/actionbar.html#SplitBar).
2. Display the activity in landscape mode or on an xlarge device.
3. Split action bar is used despite having a 'non-narrow' screen.

Is this behavior explicitly different from the Android implementation? In short: bug or feature?

For an example look at the [abs4 branch](https://github.com/UweTrottmann/SeriesGuide/tree/abs4) of SeriesGuide.
