What happens is that first the previously rendered image is shown
zoomed in, then in next map update (by default 250ms) it shows the
newly rendered map. If it takes longer to render the layer, it may
happen that empty map is shown. I guess this can be solved by keeping
the preview from previous rendering for each layer until there is
sufficient amount of new data to show.

Yes this is a side effect of MTR. I have removed the downloading
progress from status bar, because the situation is more complex now -
there could be more such requests at the same time and the existing
mechanism wasn't flexible enough to reflect that. I am thinking about
having some better progress reporting, maybe something to discuss at
the hackfest.
