Is the value of org-use-fast-todo-selection set to "t"?

And what's the value for org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks in your setup?

,----[ org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks ]
| org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks is a variable defined in `org-agenda.el'.
| Its value is t
|
| Documentation:
| Non-nil means, dim blocked tasks in the agenda display.
| This causes some overhead during agenda construction, but if you
| have turned on `org-enforce-todo-dependencies',
| `org-enforce-todo-checkbox-dependencies', or any other blocking
| mechanism, this will create useful feedback in the agenda.
|
| Instead ot t, this variable can also have the value `invisible'.
| Then blocked tasks will be invisible and only become visible when
| they become unblocked.  An exemption to this behavior is when a task is
| blocked because of unchecked checkboxes below it.  Since checkboxes do
| not show up in the agenda views, making this task invisible you remove any
| trace from agenda views that there is something to do.  Therefore, a task
| that is blocked because of checkboxes will never be made invisible, it
| will only be dimmed.
