BB10: Images animating into place when loading QML file

I've noticed that when I load new QML files, the images animate into place.

For example, if the screen contains an image at position X,Y and it is of width W and height H, then the image becomes visible at coordinates 0,0 and has width 0 and height 0, and then animates into place by flying over to coordinates X,Y and growing to eventually be of width W and height H.

If I then click the "Back" button and go to that QML screen a second time, it doesn't animate.

Is this implicit animation intended?  While implicit animations are rather amazing and a great tool to have, it seems counter intuitive to have screens use implicit animations when they are first loaded. It creates a rather unpleasant business and visual distraction when the screen is loading.

I thought I could disable this by adding the following to the ImageView controls:

                attachedObjects: [
                    ImplicitAnimationController {
                        enabled: false
                    }
                ]

... but they are still animating.
