Default Strange Azalea

I have an informal hedge of 'George Taber' azaleas in front of my
camellias. The azaleas are blooming right now. A close-up photo of a
flower is at http://www.rossde.com/garden/GeoTaber.jpg.

One of the plants has a branch with flowers that are all dark pink (a
color sport), resembling 'Formosa'. (A photo of a 'Formosa' bush in
bloom is at http://www.rossde.com/garden/Formosa_azalea.jpg.) The
other flowers on this same plant are definitely 'George Taber'.

Has anyone else seen such a strange color sport?
