You see I don't know how you are attempting to get your effect but the 
texture is remaining still while your object is moving/reshaping itself 
through the texture.  That is how proceedural textures work.  They are 
defined in potential in a stable pattern throughout the entire cartesian 
space. They become manifest where they intersect with surfaces that have 
been defined to possess them.  Your changing surface is intersecting the 
same stable texture pattern as it shifts.  It is this understanding you 
must use to rethink what you do to get the effect you want.  My earlier 
post was not intended as a fix but rather as a hint to you about what is 
going on in your animation.
