Drawing oddity - anyone know why?

I have run across an oddity that I can't figure out, so if you feel like a
little sleuthing,

1. File in the code below (written in 2.1)
2. Choose BobsOddMorph from the World/New Morph/Basic menu.

What I can't understand is why the morph draws in green while being moved,
but draws in red when placed on the desktop. If you know, I'd love to hear
why.

Thanks,
Bob
