a4j:status onstop not working

[manfred_berry]

it seems to be that a4j:status in richfaces 3.1 is broken.
If I use the following code, the alert(2) is never called.

 <a4j:commandButton value="click me"></a4j:commandButton>
 <a4j:status onstart="alert(1)" onstop="alert(2)"></a4j:status>

Can anybody confirm or it is me having something wron on my page?
I'm using several <a4j:status tags on my page.
All of them have different id's

I have both alerts under RF 3,1,1 SNAPSHOT. (JSF 1.2 RI, Facelets 1.1.12)
