Region ignores any transforms set in Shape set Region#setShape()

Testcase:
@Override
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
    Region region = new Region();
    region.setBackground(new Background(new BackgroundFill(Color.RED, null, null)));
    final Shape shape = new Circle(30);
    shape.setScaleX(2);   // IS THIS GETTING IGNORED ?
    region.setShape(shape);
    region.setScaleShape(false); //lets make this obvious
    Group group = new Group(region);
    region.setLayoutX(100);
    region.setLayoutY(100);
    region.setPrefSize(100, 100);
    Scene scene = new Scene(group, 300, 300);
    stage.setScene(scene);
    stage.show();
