validating when required = false, and ng-disabled true

The issue can be seen in this plunker:

Working as expected for me.

Leave the box empty, change dropdown from "Everyday" to "Cancel"

Expected behavior:
$scope.testForm.$error is an empty object.
Both "min" and "required" rules disappear from it
Since the field is disabled, no validation rules should be placed on it

Actual behavior:
$scope.testForm.$error is not an empty object.
"required" rule disappears as is standard for validation of disabled fields in angular.
"min" is still listed in the $scope.testForm.$error obj. It shouldn't be there. Once the field is disabled, no validation should be taking place on it, thus there should be nothing in the $error object

The reason you see the required rule disappear is because you have ng-required make it not required when cancelled. This has nothing to do with the input disabled state.
If you change it to just required="true" you will see that the rule still applies even if it is disabled. Its not documented that disabling a field should remove its validation constraints.

oh fiddle sticks, duh, sorry about that

perhaps a feature request for ui-validate-disable="true" attribute then?
