dynamically creating jquery mobile list view within a jquery mobile popup

This has been driving me insane so hopefully someone can help me out :-D

I am trying to create a jquery mobile popup and within the popup I want to dynamically create a jQuery mobile listview. However I keep getting the following error message.

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'jQuery19104145257784985006' of undefined.

Here is my code

$('#create').on('click', function () {
    //create a div for the popup
    var $popUp = $("<div/>").popup({
        dismissible: false,
        theme: "a",
        overlyaTheme: "a",
        transition: "pop"
    }).on("popupafterclose", function () {
        //remove the popup when closing
        $(this).remove();
    });

    //create a title for the popup
    $("<ul data-role='listview'/>").trigger("create").appendTo($popUp);

    $popUp.popup('open').trigger("create");
});

I have created a basic jsFiddle here http://jsfiddle.net/QA7Dm/

Any help is gratefully appreciated.
