TreeTableView: Selection is not restored correctly for nodes with a depth greater one

FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_112"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_112-b15)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.112-b15, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Windows 10 x64

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When using a TreeTableView with default selection model, the selection is not restored reliably after sorting. The bug maybe related to JDK-8169642.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 8u112

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1) Execute the sample app (see sourcecode)
2) Select node "1" and switch the sort order by clicking the column header
-> The selection remains on node "1" -> OK
3) Select node "1.1" and switch the sort order by clicking the column header
-> The selection switches to "1.4" -> NOT OK

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I expect the same node to be selected before and after sorting.
ACTUAL -
The selection is not restored correctly for nodes with a depth greater than one.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
