Using @IonicPage (lazy loading) pages loads by default a page

Hi, we are using from the beginning LazyLoading and the new IoniPage decorator in our app. Now we think we have discovered a new bug or something we simple don’t understand.

Our app.module.ts is something like that:

...
@NgModule({
    declarations: [
        MyApp
    ],
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        HttpModule,
        IonicModule.forRoot(MyApp, {
            preloadModules: true
      })
    ],
    bootstrap: [
        IonicApp
    ],
    entryComponents: [
        MyApp
    ],
....

our app.component.ts is something like that

@Component({
    templateUrl: 'app.html'
})
export class MyApp {
    rootPage: string;

    constructor(public platform: Platform, public statusBar: StatusBar, public splashScreen: SplashScreen) {
        this.initializeApp();
    }

    initializeApp() {
        this.platform.ready().then(() => {
            // Okay, so the platform is ready and our plugins are available.
            // Here you can do any higher level native things you might need.
            this.statusBar.styleDefault();
            this.splashScreen.hide();

            // this.rootPage = 'MainPage';
        });
  }
}

as you can see the MainPage would not be loaded it is commented, so at startup we would have a blank page and the constructor of MainPage is not loaded. Now we uncomment this.rootPage = 'MainPage'; and live reload does reload the page, and now the MainPage is shown, but the problem is the constructor is called twice time.
Next step we do, we re comment the this.rootPage = 'MainPage'; the page does a reload and page is still loaded and the constructor is loaded one time. So this is a very strange thing!

some ideas?
