Quirk with API - no-show of new albums until clickthrough?

Edited for clarity now that I have looked into the issue further:

New albums from SmugMug are not displaying in my application based on the 1.2.2 API until I visit the new album. I'm not sure if this is necessary but I also click on to the last page of the album too using the '>>' button in SmugMug for the album.

I have a suspicion that this problem also occurs when photos are shifted out of an album to another.

    This problem was just confirmed by one of my users. The API needs to be 'aware' of new albums and album changes.

    Ok, I've done the analysis, and here is the problem. I added an album called Ttest (yep, I typo'd entering the album name) and uploaded one image. Then, I made a call to getTree (edit: API v1.2.2) with Heavy="1" and got the following entry for 'Ttest':

    <Album id="6179898" Key="y2XZ8" CanRank="1" Comments="1" Description="" EXIF="1" External="1" Geography="1" ImageCount="0" Keywords="" Larges="1" LastUpdated="2008-10-08 14:28:16" Originals="1" PasswordHint="" Passworded="0" Position="49" Printable="1" Public="1" Share="1" Title="Ttest" X2Larges="1" X3Larges="1" XLarges="1" />

    Note the ImageCount is "0", this is where the problem is. SmugFoto doesn't attempt to display albums which have a zero image count. I haven't gone into that album, so the problem will still be there for testing purposes.
