Correct. This saves a _lot_ of CPU time.

Please try calling the 'getBBox' method from the SVG DOM
doing stuff directly with the GVT is likely to give "odd" results
like this.
You could also use the implementation of that method which
boils down to:
new SegmentList(node.getOutline()).getBounds2D();
