Comment (by dustin):

 The problem is that a step's properties are only rendered when the step
 starts, so the waterfall is trying to display something that's not yet
 rendered.

 I think this is a dupe - we hear about this issue a lot.  I could have
 sworn we applied a band-aid of trying to render the descriptions early,
 and falling back to something bland if the rendering failed.
