pimlottc on autoencode doesn't work with showlink

Here's an example:

$("#grid").jqGrid({
    autoencode: true,
    colNames: ["a", "b"],
    colModel: [
               {name: "a"},
               {name: "b", formatter: "showlink"}
              ],
    datatype: "local"
})

html = 'foo <img src="bar"/>';
$("#grid").jqGrid('addRowData', 0, {a: html, b: html});

The first column will encode the html properly so it appears on the page as

foo <img src="bar"/>

But the showlink foramatted column ignores autoencode and renders the html

foo [img]

What I would expect is to have the linked text appear the same as the first column.

I understand that a custom formatter should have to deal with encoding on its own but I think showlink should honor the autoencode option.

I noticed the autoencode option for escaping HTML doesn't get called if you specify the "showlink" formatter. I know I could create a custom formatter as a workaround, but I don't see why the link text shouldn't be escaped in this situation.
