We purposefully don't animate invisible GIFs for CPU load reasons -- for example, on some long forum pages with hundreds of animated GIFs, drawing offscreen GIFs can easily bring the browser to its knees.

I don't know the drawing pipeline well enough to say whether there's some specific change we could put in place to support just this particular case.  Mark might know more.
