Apparently I've been misreading your second example, thinking there
was an action in the outer transaction. I think the second example is
in fact wrong.

It's unsafe in the sense that if you call out to other code that
creates nested transactions, the assumption that your completion
handler will be called at the time that your last action finishes is
no longer valid.

We wound up subclassing CAAnimationGroup to add completion handler
support in a more logical place:
