setting SVG_TRANSFORM_ATTRIBUTE after adding element to parent: element doesn't get painted

Hi,

I have found a strange behaviour.
I create a <g> element with a <rect> subelement via DOM manipulation.
The result is something like this:

    <g transform="translate(150, 0)">
      <rect width="100" height="30" stroke="blue" fill="yellow" />
    </g>

But if I am doing it this way, it fails:

    final SVGGElement myGElement= (SVGGElement) doc.createElementNS(ns, "g");
    doc.getRootElement().appendChild(myGElement);
    final SVGRectElement myRectElement= (SVGRectElement)
doc.createElementNS(ns, "rect");
    myRectElement.setAttributeNS(null, "stroke", "blue");
    myRectElement.setAttributeNS(null, "fill", "yellow");
    myRectElement.setAttributeNS(null, "width", "100");
    myRectElement.setAttributeNS(null, "height", "30");
    myGElement.appendChild(myRectElement);
    myGElement.setAttributeNS(null, "transform", "translate(150, 0)");

The problem is: Train doesn't get painted. Not even after calling
canvas.repaint().

Of course I am doing this in the thread of the update manager. All other
things I am painting do appear correctly.
The interesing thing is, if I translate the <g> object so that the new
location intersects the original location (0, 0), the part of the train in
the intersection is correctly painted.

If I set the "transform" attribute _before_ adding myGElement to its
parent, everything works well. Only when doing this _after_ adding it to
its parent, it fails.

BUT: Another strange behaviour. Assume the above (failing) code snippet
and insert a
    myRectElement.setAttributeNS(null, "fill", "red");
_after_ adding myRectElement to its parent (the <g> element)
the whole train is getting painted correctly (with the new fill color)!

What is the problem? Is it a bug? Am I doing something wrong?
