See the Canvas protocol "drawing-images".

Whenever #drawOn: is called, you need to draw it again.

No, your just not drawing where you think you are. Again: you should not draw into the Canvas's form directly. Use the canvas protocol.
What's happening is that when you drag the morph in the hand, the canvas has a different transform than when it is resting in the world. Drawing directly into the canvas's form will ignore this transform. So it works sometimes but not always.
