That's odd, it doesn't seem to work for me, with this simple index.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8" />
        <title>Hello, World</title>
        <script src="jquery-mobile/jquery-1.8.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            $(function(){ document.write(navigator.userAgent); });
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

Could it be that you set/override the user agent string at a later event than document ready (e.g. device ready)?
