Would it be that your first frame had 2 object or less? Then, you add 
some objects each frame.
In this case, the bounding don't kick in in for the first frame, and 
stay disabled for the rest of the naimation.
It could be that simply adding 1 or 2 spheres with no_image, 
no_reflection and no_shadow on the first frame will bring the object 
count high enough.
You coud also set the bounding threshold to 1.
You could add some dumy object off view.
