	No, not a driver problem, but indeed a display bug in POV.  I suppose
running the driver from Nvidia activates a compositing window manager* for which
POV 3.6.x has no support yet.  IIRC the problem was first reported last year
under Gentoo, followed by a series of proposed bugfixes that I should review
once again.

* at least the last ubuntu releases (e.g. 8.04) do so.
