Personal Sites site collections only being created on default.aspx

Question

I am having problems with the self service creation when the system account's site collection is being created automatically in a customized My Site Host.

If I go to http://mypersonalsite/default.aspx the site collection creates itself automatically but if I go to http://mypersonalsite/person.aspx not the same happens. It is not being created.

Is there any proccess that occurs in default.aspx that doesn't in person.aspx?

Any ideas? Thanks

I finally solved my issue with the following code in a Feature in the activate method.

SPSite site = properties.Feature.Parent as SPSite;
SPWeb web = site.RootWeb;
try
{
    using (SPLimitedWebPartManager manager = web.GetLimitedWebPartManager("person.aspx", PersonalizationScope.Shared))
    {

        ......
        ......

        manager.AddWebPart(new MySiteFirstRunExperienceWebPart() { IsVisible = false }, "Central", 1);
        manager.AddWebPart(new MySitePersonalSiteUpgradeOnNavigationWebPart() { IsVisible = false }, "Central", 2); 
        ......
        ......
    }
}

And adding this to person.aspx

<SPSWC:StringValueEx ResourceFile="spscore" LocId="MySiteHost_PageTitle" runat="server"/>

I hope it helps everyone. Thank you

If I remember correctly there are one or two hidden webparts on default.aspx that initiate the process, and also bring up the modal "let's get social"
