             | Minor nuance, the radio button itself seems to work. My
             | guess is what's happening is they're only initializing the
             | UI state when you first interact with it, which blows away
             | the radio button state.
             | 
             | Normally radio buttons can't start fully uninitialized like
             | that, so I assume that's the real bug.
