Is it still there if you add the Grow Bounds effect to the layer?

Hi all, I've just come across what seems like a bug, and just wondering whether it's present in AE CC and therefore worth reporting (I'm still on CS6)

Or better still, if there's a logical reason for it and solution :-)

I've got a 3D shape layer with an ellipse which is scaling up over a few frames (using a shape group transform, not the layer scale).   

If the scale-up is very fast, the motion blur gets 'cropped' so has squared off edges - see this photo:  https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1388508/MotionBlurCropping.jpg

I've done a few more experiments and noticed this happens whenever a shape layer's transform properties are animated fast (but not when the actual layer's transform properties are animated).

Here, the shape is moving left to right - notice how the right edge is cropped: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1388508/MotionBlurCropping2.jpg

It's as though there's a bounding box which isn't big enough to accomodate the motion blur.

Any insight appreciated!

Cheers,
Phil
