==> yes it is, in the case of a mesh2 texture made in Moray: when you open
the generated pov file, you see that it is a 'material' that is called for,
with the name of a 'texture', hence the error call from POV.
Example:
TUVMesh is checked in Moray (3.3 or 3.5) as a mesh2 'texture' and so does
not bear the term 'material'.
Rendering generates an error in POV. Opening the pov file, this is what is
written:
        material { TUVMesh }
So, there is a contradiction: POV expects a 'material' but only sees a
'texture'.
Changing manually 'material' into 'texture' solves the problem. But it is a
workaround.

==> It seems to be better to stick to 'material', but I wonder what would
happen if you develop further towards uv-mapping etc. As far as I can see in
Moray, you cannot put a 'material' on a mesh2 object, nor a mesh2 'texture'
on a regular object... This is somewhat confusing I think...
