The problem with migrating the animation effect to V3 is that is doesn't support show/hide of tiles. You can add (insertAt) and remove (removeAt) custom tile layers but I'm not sure how that will work for performance - I actually couldn't get the animation to work on your V2 link using FF3.6 and IE8 so I'm not sure what I'm looking for.
This was supposedly done on purpose in V3 to improve performance of the API on mobile devices. Fingers crossed one day google might come around and give us a show/hide.
