This is a behaviour that is common for all current trasnform tools, btw:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=315051

There's also the question of what do do about the transparency of the
layer itself: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635940

It might be tricky to transform a layer at a very low opacity - or one
that is hidden behind some other layers originally.
