I have a workaround.

Manually calling display() on the GLJPanel (vice using an Animator) resolves the issue.  The JavaDoc confirms that a manual call on display() is legal.  

Wade, I'll see if I can dig into the Animator class a bit, however, I'm not currently set up with the source (my OpenGL experience extends about 3 days now, and I only just setup JOGL over the weekend).
