md-autocomplete displays "true" if model is undefined

In ng-repeats and such it is common for me to use local variables which are un-initialized. This requires me to initialize each and every one of them.

Using ng-init is an option, but I think it would be better to let the directive initialize them with empty string.
I have a usecase where ng-init does not work for some reason. Not sure why.

+1 I was wonder why my tests with address auto completion started out as true.

+1 I am trying to reproduce the demo and it's displaying 'true' instead the placeholder.

This can be reproduced in the Basic Usage online demo if these two lines are commented out:

//    self.selectedItem  = null;
//    self.searchText    = null;

This will be fixed shortly.
