Thanks Patric for your bug report.  Patric's full post is here:

I'm moving the discussion to vtk-devel.

I have attached a small Tcl script that demonstrates the problem
clearly.  Just pick the actor several times to see what Patric
describes.  I think Patric's proposed solution is right.  If no one
has objections I'll commit the fix on Tuesday (my time) -- I guess
that gives others enough time to object.  Thanks.

cheers,
prabhu
