Ah...it looks like confusion on your part, not a bug. When the sphere is 
transparent, you are seeing its interior surface, which has a different 
slope because its normal points in the opposite direction. I'm guessing 
your function doesn't take this into account, I don't see how you could 
do it with current functions. Try clipping a sphere in half with a plane 
and compare its inside surface with the outside.
You could probably use interior_texture to fix this.
