Either OK for me. For future reference a post to bug reports with some
sort of pointer or mention of this thread in binary images is likely
better.

Given you do put everything into a scene union, it'd be worth trying a
render where you include the transparent box at outside the union. You'd
do this by commenting your box ID reference or raw box code inside the
union and then include the box code as you posted it at the bottom of
your scene file. (Supposing no transforms on the union itself)
Trying something other than a quartic for the spout water drop would
tell us something too. I've run across some quartic specific code
somewhere - csg code perhaps...
Alain's idea about coincident surfaces as a cause is one scenario in my
head for an extra surface(a) due order reduction causing trouble, but
the image doesn't look quite right for it to me. However, if your wall
texture itself mirrors across the ground plain who knows...
(a) - In it, the additional order reduction surface - you might not know
you have - becomes the one of the coincident surfaces.
Hmm, Have you tried a render where you remove the reflection block from
finish block of the spout water drop?

Try: finish{phong 0}
Solved a similar problem for me.

I was able to create a simple example with the same problem and posted it in the
bug reports news group:
http://news.povray.org/povray.bugreports/thread/%3Cweb.62b9bd71ec325a4a89a9c4065cc1b6e@news.povray.org%3E//povray.bugre
ports/thread/%3Cweb.62b9bd71ec325a4a89a9c4065cc1b6e@news.povray.org%3E/
In the example, I removed the outer union of all objects in the scene and the
bug remained. I was also able to remove the normal and finish elements of the
water drip without changing the results. Removing the interior { ior 1.33 },
however, caused both the drip and the box to disappear from the scene.
Also, the test scene has the box resting 0.1 units above the ground plane, so
there shouldn't be any coincident surfaces.

Replacing the quartic object by a sphere{} solves the problem, so it
definitely seems to be a quartic problem to me.

Chris & Thomas,
Thank you for the test scene and experimental feedback.
I'm busy for 2-3 days or so. It will be a while until I can dig into the
issue.

I took a short look into this issue only. Most likely the interaction
between the quartic and the water material is a problem. If you exchange
material { water_material }
with
pigment { colour Red }
within the Grip-object in the demo scene, Chris gave in the bugs report
section, the problem do not show up.
Best regards,
Michael

Just from the looks of it, max_trace_level in global_settings might have
something to do with this.
Either in your code or as a bug in 3.8.
