Using a JavaScript Array of JS Objects as an itemview model doesn't work as expected

When using a JavaScript array of objects, the magical "model" property does not get populated as one would expect. modelData is a valid workaround, but it would be nice to not need it. See attached example.

A console.log(model) reveals that model is of type QQmlDMListAccessorData, leading me to think that the problem is somewhere inside QtQml's adaptation of this type.. but I haven't looked at the code in question at all really.
