Single bad frame with AnimationPlayer + PathFollow2D + callback_mode_process=physics

Tested versions

Reproduces in 4.2.2 and 4.3 RC3

System information

Fedora Linux, Intel GPU, Compatibility renderer

Issue description

I put a Sprite2D inside a PathFollow2D being driven by an AnimationPlayer. The animation is supposed to "stand still" for 1.5 seconds, then drive the sprite along the path in 0.5 seconds. The result is

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d223a65f-446f-4d3f-98f5-5c6898516317

The first frame as the sprite starts to move shows it "jumping" to the end. Then the animation continues as expected.

This only reproduces if the AnimationPlayer's callback_mode_process is physics. It is also sensitive to the time that the motion starts. If the keyframe is moved to 0.3 seconds, it no longer reproduces.

Steps to reproduce

Add this scene to a project and run it.
