unexport does not reset GPIO to initial state (only removes it from device list)

Running this code results in the GPIO pin 11 still being set as OUTPUT and still being ON even after the unexport command:
Python code:
from quick2wire.gpio import Pin
Pin(11, "out")
Pin(11).value = 1
Pin(11).unexport()
Also using the unexport directly from shell with the command "gpio-admin unexport 11"
results in the same result.
Using any other GPIO library/driver that is available interprets this as GPIO pin nr 11 still being in use even though one has unexported the pin.
A partial solution is to manually set Pin 11 as an INPUT using command: "Pin(11, "in"), before using the unexport command, however this is not possible to implement together with the "with exported" statement in python.
The new GPIO API fixes this.
