Hmm, if getCTM() should take into account motion animations I think it
should say so explicitly.

Although animate.html says:

  The various (x,y) points of the shape provide a supplemental
  transformation matrix onto the CTM for the referenced object which
  causes a translation along the x- and y-axes of the current user
  coordinate system by the (x,y) values of the shape computed over time.
