Man, I've been banging my head against the wall on this one thinking it was my code. This is an issue only with Android 2.x from what I can tell.

Go to http://jquerymobile.com/test/docs/toolbars/footer-persist-a.html on an Android 2.x device (I've tried with a G1 running 2.2, as well as the 2.2 and 2.3.3 emulators). Click on any one of those tabs, the AJAX transition will go, but pageshow is never called, and you end up seeing a blank (white) content div. (If it works, clear your cache and load up the first page again...in my testing it worked at most 20% of the time, and failed the rest).

Removing the fixed directives from the header and footer fixes this 100%. Not 100% sure, but this bug may only happen when a navbar is in use in the fixed footer?

I'm working up against the absolute newest JQM master (as of 5 minutes ago), still an issue.
