Android :: Drawings Of View.onDraw Not Shown When Canvas Rotated

I have create a subclass of View and overwritten onDraw() - see some test code below. It draws a line consisting of some points. Before the line is drawn the canvas is rotated and restore after the drawing. The angle by which the canvas is rotated increases by 5 degrees every time onDraw() is called. The view is invalidated about once a second causing the view to be redrawn. Due to the rotated canvas the line drawn looks like a clock hand rotating counter-clockwise. This works - but not always. Sometimes the line is not drawn for one or more seconds, although I know from the log statement that onDraw() was called. Sometimes means: The line may be not shown after 8 seconds, then again after 35 seconds and so on. If the canvas is not rotated the problem does not occur. This also happens when I use a SurfaceView instead of a View. It does not only occur in the simulator but also on my G1 - both using Android 1.6.
