inputText readonly field not updating backing bean

I'm using a readonly inputText in conjunction with a popup calendar and the setter in the backing bean for the inputText is not being called. I had thought that previously it was being called, but I'm not sure.

I updated my version of the 1.2 RI a couple months ago, so is this standard JSF behavior or is it implementation-specific? I mostly understand why logically, the property wouldn't be updated, but there are cases like this where you might update the readonly field programmatically.

I know that I can work around it by having a hidden field mapped to the same property.

Thanks.
