I've got a very complicated scene where I declare a union of a large set of
objects.  As far as I can tell, every single object has its own independent
texture declaration.   But in every instance of invoking the union, via:

object { The_Union_I_Declared_Before    translate ...}

I get the above error message.  It's annoying in a scene with 18^2 robots.

Seems a bit off. If it were an unintended feature, should I go to the
trouble of making a formal bug report?

If it were an intended feature, can someone tell me some code I may add to
the object statement that will trick pov into thinking it's okay without
making any changes to my object?

I almost always get that warning. Happens mostly when a CGS of textured 
elements or a textured CSG is used in another CSG. The texture is there 
and used, but the parser may be missing it. If you don't have absolutely 
black elements that should be coloured, you can ignore it.

If you just want to make the warning go away, use a higher warning_level 
(IIRC that's how the options is called). Described in the docs somewhere 
at "Text Output Options".

HTH,
