Have a look at the NO_REFLECTION / NO_IMAGE patch
 (seems to be in MegaPov).

 I would simply apply NO_REFLECTION to the floor object.

The main advantage is that it does not perturb the bounding tree
(And unless NO_SHADOW is also speficied, you will get a shadow for
the floor, if you have any light that make the floor cast one
 [semi-transparent floor ??])
