When you zoom the map, the redraw of the feature is performed without
any knowledge of the current feature style: drawFeature is called again
by the renderer in a case which is out of the control of the
SelectFeature control.

It's possible we could modify the code to not adjust the style
properties when changing the zoom. (I think?) But it would be a
modification to the current code. (I think.)
