I suspect this is where your problem is. The texture code is full of 
little hacks, there are lots of little special-cases to deal with things 
like blob component textures and cutaway_textures. Probably something 
got missed in writing the cutaway_textures feature.

If you specify a texture for the blob itself, it will probably use that 
texture. The obvious flaw with this is that you only get one texture.
