tabs cause error if history.pushState has been called

[pstanton]

i have a tab component which i'm creating via $(container).trigger("create"); after I have previously used history.pushState to pretty up my page's address. When the tabs component within the container is creating itself, it seems to trigger an xhr request to the current page's url for some unknown reason. This in turn causes all of the scripts in the page to be "eval'd" which throws an error and breaks my whole page.

stack of unexpected xhr request:

send (jquery-2.2.4.js:9064)
ajax (jquery-2.2.4.js:8656)
load (jquery.mobile-1.4.5.js:15186)
(anonymous) (jquery.mobile-1.4.5.js:835)
_create (jquery.mobile-1.4.5.js:14493)

_createWidget (jquery.mobile-1.4.5.js:1000)
$.(anonymous function).(anonymous function) (jquery.mobile-1.4.5.js:796)

trigger (jquery-2.2.4.js:7807)
(anonymous) (jquery-2.2.4.js:7875)

each (jquery-2.2.4.js:137)
trigger (jquery-2.2.4.js:7874)
show (landing.js?v=44:58) <-- my code

If I take out my call to history.pushState, or my tabs component it all works again.
