There can be other weird effects if you try to spawn deformer morph targets when subdivision is enabled. That needs to be done without subd, or things get very strange. Usually only affects props or hair that has some translation applied to it that gets incorporated into the subd, somehow.

Not sure if that's relevant in this case, though.
