same controller and state is reloaded after using $state.go then trying to navigate to a new state

[btm1]

If you use $state.go($state.current.name,params,{notify:false, reload:false, location:'replace', inherit:true}) to change the URL params without reloading the current state .... and then you click another link ( i.e. #/somenewstate/somepage?blah=1) the same controller and same state that you are currently on just gets reloaded (sometimes with the original params before you had used $state.go to change them).

Does anyone have a fix for this or know of a way to stop it from doing this? Is this a known issue?
