Hi Steve.

I think I know what's going on, and it isn't a bug in the lib.

init does not call zoomToMaxExtent, because the ArgParser control,
which the map constructor includes by default, already called
setCenter. The ArgParser calls setCenter when the WMS layer is added,
i.e. before the BBOX strategy is activated, so the BBOX strategy
doesn't catch the first moveend. I'm pretty sure that setting controls
to null in the map options makes the problem go away.

Cheers,
