At the moment I just have a hunch: There were some bogosities in 
POV-Ray's media computations which would cause the results to be 
systematically off (as opposed to just being imprecise) when using a 
very low minimum number of samples. I fixed these, so that low minimum 
number of samples would yield results closer to high minimum number of 
samples.

The fix quite certainly has made it into UberPov, but may not have been 
released for official POV-Ray yet due to longer release cycles there.

I can't currently verify that this is the reason for the differences you 
see in this case, for the lack of round tuits; I hope to get one or two 
of those in the second half of December.

It's my pleasure. I seem to vaguely remember that Clipka explained the 
differences, but my memory is not what it has been anymore...

There is a tuit shower due over Germany around that time I heard. Thanks 
for your good work sir!
