Fixed bug that throws an error in $.mobile.changePage

[ryankirkman]

The error is thrown at: https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/blob/master/js/jquery.mobile.navigation.js#L1098

To replicate the bug you need a specific set of conditions:
https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/blob/master/js/jquery.mobile.navigation.js#L1017 will incorrectly return an empty string because the call to path.convertUrlToDataUrl( settings.dataUrl ) incorrectly returns an empty string when settings.dataUrl looks like http://example.com/myapp/# - note the # on the end

To fix the bug
path.convertUrlToDataUrl( ... ) at https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/blob/master/js/jquery.mobile.navigation.js#L180 needs to add an additional check at https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/blob/master/js/jquery.mobile.navigation.js#L182 to ensure !path.isFirstPage( absUrl )

NB: This bug has only arisen because I am bypassing jquery mobile navigation and using backbone's router.

Can you please provide a demo page illustrating this problem? You can use our handy jsbin template to start with. It would also be nice if you could add a unit test that fails unless your patch is applied. You can add your test to the navigation unit test suite located in the source tree's tests/unit/navigation subdirectory.

The most important thing is the demo though. Don't worry if you can't get around to writing the unit test.
