[BUG] Changes made to formControl associated with md-select are not visible

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

Changes made to formControl associated with md-select are not visible

What is the expected behavior?

Changes made to formControl associated with md-select should be visible on select

What is the current behavior?

Event if formControl has the correct value, md-select shows just placeholder. Setting value using md-select dropdown works just fine

<div class="option-select-container" [formGroup]="parentFormGroup">
  <md-select class="option-select"
             placeholder="{{formControlName | capitalize}}"
             (formControl)="formControl"
             formControlName="{{formControlName}}"
             [multiple]="multiple">
    <div class="dropdown-container">
      <div class="select-options" >
        <md-option class="empty-option" [disabled]="multiple">
          <div *ngIf="multiple" class="empty-option-hack">
            <div class="empty-option-hack-block"></div>
          </div>
          <span [ngClass]="{'option-text-hack' : multiple}">{{formControlName | capitalize}}</span>
        </md-option>
        <md-option *ngFor="let option of options" [value]="option">
          <div class="option">
            <label for="file-input" class="option-image-container" (click)="chooseOptionToAppendImage($event, option)" *ngIf="withImage">
              <div class="option-image" [ngStyle]="option.image && option.image && {'background-image': 'url(' + option.image.URL + ')', 'background-size':'cover'} || {}"></div>
            </label>
            <span class="option-text">
              <p>{{option.name}}</p>
            </span>
          </div>
        </md-option>
      </div>
      <form (submit)="addOption($event)" class="select-new-option">
        <md-input-container class="option-creation-input">
          <input type="text" [ngModelOptions]="{standalone: true}" [(ngModel)]="newOption" mdInput placeholder="New option">
        </md-input-container>
        <button md-raised-button color="primary" type="submit">add</button>
      </form>
    </div>
  </md-select>
</div>

<input id="file-input" accept="image/*" (change)="addImage($event)" type="file" [hidden]="true" *ngIf="withImage">

ngOnInit() {
    this.route.params.subscribe((params) => {
      if (params.id) {
        this.objectId = params.id;
        this.objectService.fetch(params.id).subscribe((data: any) => {
          this.objectCreationForm.setValue({
            language: data.language || '',
            country: data.country || '',
            regions: data.regions || '',
            text: data.text || ''
          });
        });
      }
    });
}

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?

So this was a matter of comparing references instead of values?
