It doesn't seem that setVisible(false) is called on all the children (that is, the loaders) - so overriding it in the loader-animation won't do the trick ... but I guess I could hook onto the parent in some way, yes - since ViewStack does seem to call setVisible(false) on the container ... I will look into that.
