Hi Greg & Lars,

just guessing form afar, I think it is (was..) not a bug but a simple 
instance overlapping problem. If several instances overlap, each one 
will be traversed for a ray hit, and the one which actually 'wins' in 
the end is determined by the way they're inserted into the object set 
for this octree subcube, and not e.g by the distance of the ray hit to 
the view point.

(PS one reason for me joining into that discussion and risking a 
statement is to check if my understanding of the meachinism is correct...)
