android css transitions stop animating

Question

Has anyone else run into an issue where a CSS transition stops animating?

I am trying to animate an element scrolling it left or right by applying -webkit-transition: left 500s linear;

it works fine at first, but if you make the element scroll back and forth from repeated user actions, at some point the transition just stops animating.

I have android hooked up to adb and can see that my style values are correct, it just looks like setting the css transition value multiple times while previous transitions are currently animating leads it to crap out.
