Extent#intersects fails with extent crossing 180

[JohnCartwright]

Hello All,

It seems to me that the following should work and it doesn't (v2.3).  Can someone please explain?

Thanks!

        var polylineJson = {
            "paths":[[[-179.99,-89.99], [-179.99,89.99]]],
            "spatialReference":{"wkid":4326}
        };
        var antimeridian = new esri.geometry.Polyline(polylineJson);
        var bbox = new esri.geometry.Extent(175.0,-5.0,-175.0,5.0, new esri.SpatialReference({ wkid:4326 }));
        console.log(bbox.intersects(antimeridian));  //should be true but is false
