ngChecked Bug with md-checkbox

[drinkspiller]

I'm experiencing different behavior with an md-checkbox than with a vanilla checkbox and expected they would work the same. The master/slave example from the ngChecked page does not work when the checkboxes are md-checkbox but does work when <input type="checkbox" ...> is used.

Here is a Plunk with the example from the ngChecked documentation but with the ngMaterial dependencies added. It behaves as expected — the 'slave' checkbox can be toggled whether or not the 'master' checkbox is selected.

Now here is a Plunk with the same example but both instances of <input type="checkbox" ...> have been changed to elements (with closing tags). Note that the 'slave' checkbox does not toggle its state when clicked, irrespective of whether the 'master' is selected or not.

@drinkspiller - master-to-slave works for both versions. Independent slave selection does NOT work for md-checkbox:

@topherfangio - should be a fun, easy one to resolve.
