+[SCNTransaction setCompletionBlock:] always invokes the block immediately

It’s supposed to invoke your block when all the animations in the current transaction have completed. It doesn’t; it runs it as soon as the transaction is committed. Le sigh.

It does appear to do it from the main runloop at least, as documented. So there is technically a delay, as a consequence of that scheduling. Not helpful though.

Update: turns out that you have to set the completion block before calling +[SCNTransaction begin].  Grrr.  Undocumented behaviour #bajillion+1.
