Personally I don't think it should be animated, it would be distracting.
the current animation happens when you click on the star, and you are already looking at it. There's no much point in doing that also for the keyboard shortcut or the context menu since it would attract your attention to something that was not in your workflow.
Btw, leaving this to UX.

The "Edit This Bookmark" panel automatically shows in these instances, so this area is already focused. I think it might make sense to do the animation any time a site is bookmarked and the panel shows at the same time.
