Impossible to move objects in dynamic graphics

Since version 8 it is no more possible to move objects with dynamic
positions in a dynamic graphics.

For example in the graphics below, the text and the point can be
moved :

p = {-.5, 0}; q = {.5, 0}; {Dynamic@p, Dynamic@q}
Graphics[{Text["TEXT", Dynamic[p]], AbsolutePointSize[10],
  Point[Dynamic[q]]}, PlotRange -> 1]

But not in that one which is just wrapped in a Dynamic

Dynamic@Graphics[{Text["TEXT", Dynamic[p]], AbsolutePointSize[10],
  Point[Dynamic[q]]}, PlotRange -> 1]

I expect that to work. Is it a bug ? Or if something has been changed,
how can I now get back to previous (good) behaviour ?

Thanks

Nicolas
