Well, sorry about that. As Christoph said some of the POV-Ray 3.1 code has
some (minor) problems with 3.5. I did update all the Megapov objects, scenes
and macros to 3.5 but I somehow didn't think that 3.1 scenes would have
problems too. I'll look into that and correct it. The fact is that the
MakeLibrary suite would benefit a lot from 3.5 features so that I wanted to
improve it a little instead of just fixing it.

object{ TheMacro(blah,blah,blah,blah) translate blah blah blah}

(see the library_new.pov and library_old.pov if you missed them)
