The mesh is created on the first frame of the layer. You cannot move the layer, scale, or rotate it without breaking the mesh. The proper workflow for Puppet Pin is to animate all of the movement with Puppet pin, then pre-compose, move all attributes to the new com, then animate the pre-comp now nested in the main comp.
