Sorry to keep acting stupid with isosurfaces, but I have a really dumb
question... I know that isosurfaces have a bug where the contained_by
shape is not translated if the isosurface itself is translated, is there
a way to place an iso anywhere else other than <0,0,0> (assuming I am
using a sphere as the container). I tried the following:

isosurface {
blah
blah
blah
    contained_by {sphere {<0,1,0> 1}}
blah blah blah}

and the object is squished, ie.... it is not translated but rather
deformed in a most unpleasant way.

Anybody got any ideas? Or am I missing something so obvious that I
should hide under the bed in shame??  :-)

What if you translate the container separately?

isosurface {
  blah blah blah
  translate <0,1,0>
  contained_by {sphere {0,1 translate <0,1,0>}}
  blah blah blah
}
