It should.

A torus created by a "quartic"-statement renders ok.

Since "torus" uses the same polynomial root solver, the problem
probably lies in the intersection calculation of the bounding volume.

(I had no time to take a peek at the source, but the docs say a cylindrical
ring is used; maybe the author of the code forgot to make provisions for
the case of minor > major.)
