Kendo combo box sets ng-model to blank when setting source and value asynchronously

I'm in a position where I have to use ng-model rather than k-ng-model.

Whenever an asynchronous call/delayed operation sets both the datasource and selected value at the same time inside the angular scope, the selected value is set to the empty string ("").
