In an attempt to try to narrow down the problem, I've aligned dependency versions and changed the gulpfile to be equivalent to the approach used by the hawkular console.

This wasn't an issue when using gulp on port 2772 to do live updates of the UI during development, but now prevents live updates using the approach used by hawkular console where the js/css files are updated in the console war in the server.

In the BTM UI they are stable during the refresh cycle (i.e. just the numbers are refreshed), but in the hawkular UI, there appears some transition that occurs when a new instance of the btxn is added as a separate box, and then the old one (I assume) is removed - so probably to do with the way I have applied the updates (not investigated yet).
