I'm the author of http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/16533. The way I see it, in the past the animate call probably relied on the fact that the notebook will pick up an image generated in the current directory which is a temporary directory just for this single cell. So saving the image was enough. But apparently something changed somewhere, since now files are generated in a temporary file which is not in the current directory, so it won't get picked up any more. Graphics.show() does things differently, and I have code to make the same work for Animation.show(). But at the moment my code is mixed up with other improvements, and it seems noone is willing yet to review thge whole bunch at once, so I'll probably try to separate stuff again. Until then, a command like a.save("anim1.gif") will save to the current directory and therefore show the animation.
