Comment (by camerons):

 The following sequence occurs:
 1. Vml.createRoot() called
 First Call Stack:
 Renderer.Vml.createRoot()
 Layer.Vector.moveTo()
 ..
 Map.setBaseLayer()
 Map.setCenter()
 Map.removeLayer()
 Layer.destroy()
 Layer.HTTPRequest.destroy()


 2. Vml.drawPoint() is called, a JS error is raised: 'this.root' is
 undefined.

 Call Stack:
 Renderer.Vml.drawPoint()
 Renderer.drawGeometry()
 Renderer.Vml.drawGeometry()
 Layer.Vector.addFeatures()
 Layer.GML.requestSucess()
 BaseType.bind()
 Ajax.respondToReadyState()
 ..

 3. Vml.createRoot() called again!
 Call Stack:
 Renderer.Vml.createRoot()
 Layer.Vector.moveTo()
 Map.centerAt()
 Map.zoomToExtent()
 init()
 onLoad="init()"

 ---

 It seems we have a race condition, where the draw() function is being
 called before the createRoot().
 Solution should be to have Renderer.drawGeometry() called by
 Layer.Vector.moveTo() thread/function.
