This sounds like a good solution.

The behavior is very mysterious, because we've never seen
anything like it and its hard to imagine how it can happen.
Its even more mysterious that it goes away when the code
is moved from a CellImpl.doAction() to a displayChanged().

But at least you have a solution.

Cheers,
Bill
