Expo plugin: Multimonitor behavior: Zoom animation on second monitor using wrong path if Multi Output Mode is set to "One wall per output"

Bug Description

While the zoom works perfectly for the main (left) monitor, the animation on the second monitor is jumpy. It looks like the wrong "path" is used for the zoom causing the whole picture to "jump" at the beginning and at the end of the animation.

Compiz 0.9.8-1, but observed this behavior in earlier versions of Compiz as well.

Monitors used are a 1920x1200 monitor on the left and a 1280x1024 monitor on the right.
