Because the UpdateManager is only started after the first rendering
of the SVG document completes. If the canvas isn't visible there isn't
a first rendering.

Right because the UpdateManager isn't started until after the
document is rendered for the first time. The question is what
should you do? The answer is I don't know, I think it's exactly
right that a non-visible SVG Canvas doesn't do anything.
