[racket] place-image winking effect with low y coord

The same effect occurs in racket/share/pkgs/realm/chapter5/ufo-source.rkt.
When the state is increasing from 0, the image is not moving down the
screen. It stays in one place, but is initially clipped to 0 horizontal
lines. Then 1 line, then 2, and only when the state is 1/2 the image height
does it start moving down the screen.

Also, if I call (draw-a-ufo-onto-an-empty-scene 0) in the interactions
window, I once again get a different result: it renders the lower half of
the image. This is the same behavior I see with my code.

Maybe a platform issue? (version) reports 6.0. I'm running it on ubuntu.
