ffl overrides primTranslate and only moves itself.  The expected behavior for me was for it to translate its children as figure does.

This is because a freeform layer moves *after* its children have finished moving. The layer wraps itself around its children, it never moves its children.

Is this actually stated anywhere?

From FreeformFigure's javadoc:

This figure must be placed in a {@link org.eclipse.draw2d.FreeformViewport}.  Also, you shouldn't call {@link IFigure#setBounds(Rectangle)} on this figure.  The bounds will be calculated based on the extent of its children.  A FreeformFigure's bounds will be the smallest rectangle that will contain all of its children.
