Wiggle Transform error depending on Repeater's settings

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a shape layer
  2. Draw a shape on it
  3. Add a Repeater
  4. Animate the Copies gong from 0 to, say, 10
  5. Ensure the Repeater's Composite is set to "Above"
  6. Add a Wiggle Transform with a Wiggles/Second of 0 and set its position to, say, 100,0

 
Result:

As each extra shape appears, the already-drawn shapes move around

 

Expected:

Shapes already on screen shoudl remain in place. If you change the Repeater's Composite to "Below", the shapes do not move - this is "as expected" behaviour. Adjusting the Wiggle's Random Seed does not help.

 

Attached project shows the issue - change the Repeater's Composite to Above or Below to see the difference.
