DataGrid OnPageIndexChanged does not fire for first page link click - ASP.NET Data Grid Control

[Sytelus]

When DataGrid with paging enabled shows numeric links for pages, you
get OnPageIndexChanged event fired when user clicks on any of the page
links - except the very first! Have anyone seen this behavior and know
any workarounds? The current workaround I know of is to look at
IsPostBack and Request.Form("__EVENTTARGET") and see if its set at
"GridName:_ctl0:_ctl1" or something like that which means first link
was clicked.

Isn't that expected behaviour? After all, the index hasn't changed if you
don't go anywhere except where you are.
