I made a simple test here and the same thing occourred.
But only when I applyed the CC sphere to a Shape Layer.
When I apply it to a Solid or to an Image everything works fine.
It must have something to do with shape layers. I don´t know but maybe the fact that it is made out of stroke and fill and is not actualy a solid coordinate based thing. But now I guess I´m triping.
Let´s leave the explanation to Todd.
Try using a solid. It will work.
