If a computed reads an observable with a pending notification (possib…

…le intermediate value), ensure we get notified of the actual final value (bypass equality checks).

This breaks one of the specs, but considering that the spec covers a quite obscure scenario, I'm not too concerned. It's possible the broken spec can be fixed later (see #1943).
