Animation curve is not preserved after unparenting a layer

With separated dimensions, easing is fundamentally flawed if a layer has been unparented:
- Imagine a shape moving left to right + some easing applied (with separated x and y positions)
- Then it is parented to a comp-centered Null that is turned 180 degrees.
- The shape now moves right to left.
- Either delete the Null or unparent the object from the Null.
- Values change accordingly (the object still moves right to left), but the easing is still the same – it has not been transformed to comp-space.
That is especially apparent when one used something like an ease-in or ease-out curve that starts/end abruptly (curve starting/ending in non-zero pixels/second).
