mdTab mdActive attribute does not work

[thebigredgeek]

mdActive attribute on mdTab directive doesn't appear to work. I have tried passing true, 'true', a property of the parent controller that is true, etc. No joy. It also appears that the mdSelected attribute on mdTabs doesn't always work.

You can see this failure at https://material.angularjs.org/#/demo/material.components.tabs on the bottom example. If you click the tabs on the example, the view doesn't change. If you change the selected index, the view changes.

Has anyone else experienced this?

It looks like the wrong attribute is consumed. According the docs here:
https://material.angularjs.org/#/api/material.components.tabs/directive/mdTab
The mdActive attribute is used. However in the source code, we are checking the active attribute. Perhaps a doc update is needed?
