Whether it "makes sense" or not, Helmut is right and this is how it
works. Changing the value of a property dynamically via code /detaches/
it from any tweening applied by the timeline. The ideal solution is have
a container inside of it. Or, really, don't use the timeline tweening at
all.

allowed to change since it's not changed during an actual tween. Also, the
property involved is not what's being tweened, so why would it nullify a
tween done on it at a different time?
