DeferWindowPos doesn't always cause OnSize message

I am using DeferWindowPos to position several child windows (all have same Z-order). I need EndDeferWindowPos to generate an OnSize message each time it is called because I adjust the font based on the window size. It gets called sometimes, but not every time. Any idea why or how to fix it?

int count = m_PaneList.Count();
HDWP hdwp = ::BeginDeferWindowPos(count + 1);

for ( it.First(); it.IsValid(); it.Next() )
{
StatusWindowPane* pane = it.Object();
if ( !pane )
continue;

pane->SetOrigin(CPoint(rc.left, rc.top));

if ( hdwp )
hdwp = ::DeferWindowPos( hdwp, pane->m_hWnd, NULL, origin.x, origin.y,pane->Width(), rc.Height(),
SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_NOACTIVATE);

origin.x += pane->Width();
}
if ( hdwp )
::EndDeferWindowPos(hdwp);
