Yep.  That's the problem.  Let's call it a "shortcoming."
TransformationMorphs are a hack.  As a friend of mine, Scott Watson once said,
    "You guys sure have gotten a lot of mileage out of that WarpBlt."
Which is true, but there are some things TransformationMorphs won't do.

Just another reason why we're rewriting the kernel of Morphic.
