Great to hear that! Meanwhile I did an ugly workaround. I added a
style option to the layer, and then I added this event handler:

layer.onFeatureInsert=function(feature) {
	feature.style = feature.layer.options.style;
	feature.layer.renderer.drawGeometry(feature.geometry, feature.style);
}

This has the disadvantage that every feature is drawn twice when the
GML is laoding, so the preFeatureInsert event handler from the patch
would be the perfect solution!

Thank you!
Andreas.
