That looks correct.  Nothing should appear in the display until simulation
has got to the point where the display is installed via the beDisplay
primitive (primitiveBeDisplay).

See InterpreterSimulator initialize:
...
displayForm := 'Display has not yet been installed' asDisplayText form.
...

 So at first you should see the display saying 'Display has not yet been
installed', ten it should go white when the beDisplay primitive installs a
blank form and then (potentially much later because simulation is slooooow)
drawing should occur in teh display.

What did you use to create your video?  If it's uh, inexpensive I'll try and
make a video of what I see in the Cog simulator.
