Telerik MVC grid losing GridOperationMode.Client when grid is empty
===

Is there a way to force the Telerik MVC grid to use GridOperationMode "client" even if the grid contains zero rows?
I have observed that the grid respects the operation mode if there are one or more rows present, but it seems to fall back to server mode if the result set is empty. 
Clicking the column hearders casues a post request to the server...
It seem to do a single post when rendering the empty grid initially as well?

Is there an explenation for this behavior, and is there a way to force client mode always?
