Please don't pretend there is a bug if you don't have serious arguments. 
    Something isn't broken just because it does not work as you expect 
it. The three points you listed are completely natural if you know how 
superellipsoids work.  If you don't like them - don't use them (and as 
you can read up in the newsgroup archives there are good reasons for 
using an isosurface version instead.
