A couple of things:

1. I don't believe their site/demos are running the latest version of jQuery mobile (weird, I know). 2. Secondly, the resetting behavior can be easily handled now with the addition of beforechangepage by setting the current scroll position before transition and using $.mobile.silentScroll to update on page re-entry.

Trying out http://jquerymobile.com/test/ which is synced to the latest code base, it seems that they have added one final step

   5) delay a long time then scroll back to where you were

Not losing your place is significant, but the steps are still quite distinct and the delays quite painful.

I suspect this is a testament to the difficulty of cross browser/device mobile development in general.
