I made some tests and I don't think scaling the turbulence is the problem.

The following code does not show the inconsistency in the texture, but if
you uncomment the "octaves 12" , you can see it again - at all sides of the
sphere. As long as octaves is less than 10, nothing happens. The "break"
seems to be at the box{-10,10}.

Hope that helps,
