react-native: RefreshControl with refreshing=true does not show refreshing indicator on first render

With this code:

        <ListView
          refreshControl={
            <RefreshControl
              refreshing={true}
              ...
            />
          }
          dataSource={this.dataSource}
          ...
        />

The refreshing indicator is not shown until a pull to refresh occurs. This would be helpful to work for initial data loading.
