I guess so.
(...digs through sourcecode...)
Yup - at least in 3.7.
BTW, I just notice that the aa_level default is incorrectly stated as 4 
in the docs, while according to source code it's actually 3.

Unfortunately some of the terrain-generating patterns give different 
results in POV-Ray 3.7 (at least the crackle). Post a reply to this message

For this, the culprit is the "preliminary sea floor", having an ambient 
of 0.05 (and a blue pigment).

O.k., I tried this (see attached image) - now it looks somewhat better, 
but still not really good. I'll try also intervals 1, samples 50 with 
and without jitter, watch out!

I tried intervals 1, samples 50, jitter 0.5... now it looks considerably 
better (albeit still slightly streaky, see attached image) but... it 
took aaaaaaages to render, some 7 hours and 30 minutes!

Maybe some streakiness is caused by mountains?

How that? Or do you mean the bright spots on the hills?

No, I do mean the streakiness in the skies.
Mountains at the terminator block the light at some places, thereby 
creating volumetric shadows in the atmospheric media, which might be 
percieved as streaks.
I still have no idea about the bright spots on the hills. At present, I 
can only imagine that it's some precision problem with the isosurface.

Increasing isosurface accuracy didn't help, I tried this earlier...
