Mine (a newish MK one) doesn't. Its actuator goes to an intermediate position, requiring pulling fully down to the OFF position before it can be pushed up to its ON position to reset it.
I think the theory is that you can tell at a glance whether it was switched off manually or tripped automatically, but it can be confusing (my wife certainly had no luck resetting it when it tripped after someone overfilled the kettle).
