Rotate 3D interfering with state reset? *help*

Question

I have several shapes (in photoshop) that transition between states... size, location, opacity, etc.
One of the shapes has a manually applied action "Rotate 3D" on the transition from State 1 -> State 2.
I have 2 buttons.  A "Next Button" that moves from state 1 to state 2 and a "Back Button" that persists between both states and triggers an onclick to shuttle from state 2 back to state 1.
First time through after clicking the Next Button everything animates appropriately.  I click the Back Button which reverts back to state 1.
When I click the Next Button again to switch to State 2 though many of the elements now animate incorrectly to entirely new positions (note: NOT the shape with the Rotate 3D action).  They appear to have shifted to the right by about 400 pixels.
This only happens once I have used the back button first.
When I remove the Rotate 3D action, the other shapes return to animating properly.
Anyone have any idea?  Have spent several days punching my desk on this one.
Many thanks.

Hey Ty,
Came back to this a few months later and spent a great deal of time with it.. unfortunately got derailed again at the new rotate3D feature.  Now it appears that if we are animating multiple layers simultaneously, (move + rotate3D), and then adjust the keyframes on the timeline we encounter WEIRD results.  The move will begin at the first keyframe for all the layers, even though the 2nd and 3rd layer are keyframed to start at 2s and 3s.  The flip itself will start when it's keyframed, but- if stagered (and not all simultaneous) it will have a dramatic and large shift that ends up looking like a pixelated jitter or something.
Have tried to rebuild this particular portion several times in a multitude of ways.. no luck.
Is there a workaround?  If we bring the project into flex can we iron out the rotate3D issues of Catalyst?
Thanks,
Chad
