Well, we reload the indicators in lockscreen mode, and this might be slower (although I didn't notice that), however, you can check if the animation confuses you by enabling slow-animations from CCSM and then checking what's going on.

This might be an artifact of the cross-fade between real and lockscreen indicators, which doesn't seem correct, as the icons look like they're fading out until 3/4ths of the transition just to fade back in the last 1/4th of the time.
