Ionic-framework: ion-select passing whole event obj via ionChange and firing without user action

[WhatsThatItsPat]

Ionic version: (check one with "x")
[x] 3.x

I'm submitting a ... (check one with "x")
[x] bug report

Current behavior:
Something's fishy with ion-select in the 3.1 update.

First, the ionChange() event is firing automatically on page load without any user action.

Second, only the value of the event used to be passed through, but now the whole event is being passed.

Expected behavior:
I don't expect ionChange to fire until user action in the template. And I only expect the value to be passed through because that's how it used to work.

Steps to reproduce:
It's explained in this Plunker as well:

Switch back and forth between 3.1.0 & 3.0.0 in systemjs.config.js and you should see the difference.

With 3.1.0, you'll see the events in the console without any interaction. $event.value will work. Just $event will pass the whole event object.

With 3.0.0 they won't fire automatically. $event.value will be undefined. And just $event will work.

Hello, thanks for opening an issue with us. This looks like a breaking change that slipped through. We are taking a look into it.

Sorry about the hassle.

Confirmed that reverting to 3.0.1 (and changing no other dependencies) seems to fix this, for anyone who needs to work around this (and can roll back to 3.0.1) in the mean time.

Hey, everyone! Hope to have a nightly release here soon that I would love for you guys to give a try. It should fix these breaking changes.
