For people who use the same functionality already for SRT and know their ASS/SSA scripts are generally simple, it should be good enough for now.
The setting is disabled by default specifically, since we don't expect it to handle extremely complex SSA/ASS scripts flawlessly. I'm sure someone could create a script intentionally to cause movable/non-movable to be toggled so frequently that is causes severe readability issues, in which case the feature should just be disabled by the user. Until the behavior is enhanced, we are not expecting it to handle such a situation perfectly.
[Edit: Actually, after thinking about this, maybe you could add a feature which limits the frequency that changes from IsMovable=False to IsMovable=True are processed (i.e. ignore Provider IsMovable=True for X seconds after IsMovable=False occurs, user defined?), while always processing IsMovable=True to IsMovable=False instantly. Though I'm unsure if that would be worth the development effort to add, since it would only be a workaround for a problem which likely won't occur often.]

Of course it would be possible to add a delay, with a user options, but I already see problems describing such an option in such a way that the average user even understands what it means. So I'd say: Let's just release the build as it is, and if users complain, we can still think about what to do then. But probably it's good enough as it is, so probably nobody will complain.
