 I've made several attempts to fix this, but I haven't been able to get my
 head entirely around how this should work.

 The problem appears to be
 http://trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/browser/trunk/openlayers/lib/OpenLayers/Control/ModifyFeature.js#L381

 {{{
 this.layer.removeFeatures(this.vertices, {silent: true});
 }}}

 Up to that point in the code, the renderer has actually redrawn the point
 geometry with the correct style for a feature that is not selected. But
 somehow this.vertices refers to the redrawn point, so then it is deleted
 and not visible until the layer is either refreshed or the feature is
 selected.

 There seem to be a few special cases for Point (and MultiPoint) in the
 code, but I haven't been able to extend them to cover my use case. In this
 part of the code the GeometryCollection shows up as MultiPoint, so I would
 assume it's reproducible with that. If anyone is able to devote a little
 bit of time to this I'd be happy to set up a simple test case.


 Perhaps another ticket: I also notice that for Polygons and Lines the
 default Point symbolizer from my StyleMap is used for drawing the vertex
 handles when I select a Line or Polygon. I would have expected the
 temporary Point symbolizer, or perhaps the pointRadius / graphicName in
 the rules for Polygon or Line.
