Бесконечный свиток не показывает элементы при отображении с помощью ng-show

Когда в этом примере отображается бесконечный свиток (скопированный из документов углового материала) с помощью кнопки, элементы не отображаются.

Если ng-show=ctrl.show изменено на ng-show=true появятся элементы.

Почему элементы не отображаются с ng-show?

<div ng-controller="AppCtrl as ctrl" ng-cloak="" class="virtualRepeatdemoInfiniteScroll" ng-app="MyApp">
  <md-content layout="column">
    <p>
       Display an infinitely growing list of items in a viewport of only 7 rows (height=40px).
       <br><br>
       This demo shows scroll and rendering performance gains when using <code>md-virtual-repeat</code>;
       achieved with the dynamic reuse of rows visible in the viewport area. Developers are required to
       explicitly use <code>md-virtual-repeat-container</code> as a wrapping parent container.
       <br><br>
       To enable infinite scroll behavior, developers must pass in a custom instance of
       mdVirtualRepeatModel (see the example source for more info).
    </p>

    <button ng-click="ctrl.show=!ctrl.show" style="width:100px">Show</button>

    <md-virtual-repeat-container id="vertical-container" ng-show=ctrl.show>
      <div md-virtual-repeat="item in ctrl.infiniteItems" md-on-demand="" class="repeated-item" flex="">
        {{item}}
      </div>
    </md-virtual-repeat-container>
  </md-content>
</div>
