I can reproduce that. It looks like the items are updated properly, but
not redrawn.

A quick workaround is to force a redraw of the entire canvas:

    gdk_window_invalidate_rect (GOO_CANVAS (canvas)->canvas_window,
                                NULL, FALSE);


I'll try to figure out what is going wrong.
