Rendering at 1920x1080 I get the result as shown in p.b.i (900+ renders).
Running at a lower resolution shows the correct preview.
The stored images are correct.

Hint for investigators, it seems, from the description in p.b.i, that
when the preview (in Unix) need to be scaled (because the window
wouldn't fit the display), preview of animations do not get the same
treatment as when preview is not scaled. One might clear the preview and
the other might not.

Ger, can you confirm that this describes your problem ?
And that the version of povray is 3.7RC7 ?

Just because nobody complains does not mean all parachutes are perfect.

I don't think that's  totally true. In both scaled and non-scaled the 
preview image should be overwritten. In the scaled preview it looks more 
like the next image gets added to the existing image on screen. That's why 
you get the washed out motion-like result.

Correct. 3.7 RC7 compiled with boost/OpenEXR libs on Opensuse Linux 12.3, 
running on AMD 8-core.
