Well done. Cool work and images both!

Links: I do vaguely remember his posting that version of the shipped 
SSLT example scene - so not all my memory cells are shot as yet...

As to your question, maybe media sampling is set too low for the 
reflections? Earlier posted scene was using just 3,3 I think. The 
reflected rays would be running through the media at shallower angles 
from different starting positions. Could be the initial 3 samples partly 
/ completely miss at some intervals vertically down the mirror. A Guess.
