Short description of error
Motion paths in pose mode not updating via manipulations from graph editor.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
I was animation a couple of frames in the pose mode via moving the rigs in the 3d view.
Then, I went to the Graph editor to make some tweaks in there and the bug pupped up!
After moving the location of a rig from the Graph editor, the motion path's location for that frame doesn't update. it even merges with the previous frame.
(My animation isn't affected, only the motion paths wont update.)

They're talking about the thing where motion paths aren't continuously updated, outside of operators that specifically tell it to.
Or rather, the keyframe/fcurve editor windows don't call this update.

Though it seems that motion paths are not supposed to be updated automatically. Reason why they were updated comment above is, that auto-keyframing is enabled.

Perhaps we could keep this feature request as known issue?
