Is there a current known bug with Save Animation while connected to a parallel pvserver in ParaView 3.6.1 and on?

I've seen it in CVS ParaView (in particular on a Mac OSX Snow Leopard), and a colleague of mine has seen it as well on 3.6.1 (on a Mac XServe not sure what version, so it might be a Mac problem) such that Save Animation is saving the same frames, and not updating the output frames to the subsequent time steps.

The behavior appears that the frame update is intermittent (sometimes a new frame will be written, but then that one will be repeated for many frames). It feels like a race condition such that the frame refresh hasn't happened when the readback and file write occurs. Maybe the parallel composition hasn't completed yet?

I can tell the filters and new time steps are being read and the filters are running, though, so it's not just the time steps are not being updated.

I haven't tried it on serial/builtin, but according to my colleague, that works, but it fails on a parallel (which is rendering) backend.
