in IE 8 getBBox() returns original x, y of drag'n'droped ellipse

See http://raphaeljs.com/graffle.html in IE8(haven't tried different version). Dragging rectangles works just fine, but ellipses doesn't update connection, because of the problem mentioned in the title.

Same issue in IE6.

The element is not marked as dirty when setting cx/cy in IE.

Manually setting this._.dirty = true; after this.attr(att); makes the demo work as expected.

Same goes for paths:
In ie when assigning a new path, bbox isn't updated. below Rapha 2.1.0 line 5017:

    if (params.path && o.type == "path" || newpath) {
        node.path = path2vml(~Str(a.path).toLowerCase().indexOf("r") ? R._pathToAbsolute(a.path) : a.path);

you need to add:
o._.dirty = 1;
