Updating rotation and position of AnimatableBody2D in code only updates using the last instruction when sync to physics is enabled

Issue description

In an attempt to create a moving and rotating platform that syncs to physics, I created an AnimatableBody2D and updated the code to manipulate my object rather than use an animation.

The code I'm using is this:

func _physics_process(delta):
	global_rotation_degrees += delta*10
	global_position.x += delta*10

What I expect:
A clockwise rotating object that goes from left to right.

What I get:
Only the last instructions updates the object, in this case, the position.

Doing this on the parent class (StaticBody2D) OR disabling the sync to physics makes it work, but you lose the sync to physics.

I might be doing this wrong, but couldn't find info around it, so sorry if this is a non-issue.

Steps to reproduce

• Create AnimatableBody2D node
• Add a sub node for visibility (Sprite2D with Godot logo)
• Add script to AnimatableBody2D with
  '''
  func _physics_process(delta):
  global_rotation_degrees += delta10
  global_position.x += delta10
  '''
• Object will only translate to the right instead of translating and rotating

You can combine rotation/position/scale into Transform2D in advance and then set transform.

Or use RemoteTransform2D, then modify the position/rotation/scale of the RemoteTransform2D.
