Tablesorter flashing duplicate rows while sorting with ajax

When using server-side sorting in tablesorter 2.13.2 together with the pager, double the number of rows will show while the sort is processing. For example, if 5 rows show per page, when a header is clicked to sort, 10 rows will show while the sort is processing, and then the correct 5 rows are shown when the sort process has ended. It happens whether the beta pager widget is used or the old pager. It doesn't seem to happen the first time a sort is triggered, but happens on subsequent sorts.

The code that adds the additional rows starts on line 326 of jquery.tablesorter.js:

if (!c.appender || !c.removeRows) {
    l = r[pos].length;
    for (j = 0; j < l; j++) {
        $tb.append(r[pos][j]);
    }
}

I am not using any features for appending or removing rows.
