This is something that is in the base class of the SDK (AUViewBase) that
makes it ignore the offset if the hosting window is composited. I'm not sure
why the CA team did that as it seems to cause problems that don't need to be
there. On our Aus we simply changed the SDK to do the right thing (at least
for our UI code). But if a PI manufacturer has not done this than the
combination of composited window and offset will not work (by design). So,
yeah -- this is probably going to be a problem; but I would say that it is a
bug in the affected plugs -- they should be testing with a host that
compostites and offsets (one of the apple test tools does this) and have
found the required change to the base classes...
