I have a suggestion--which may not have any relevance--but you might try
changing Remove_Bounds=on/off and/or Bounding_Threshold=*some integer* in your
..INI file. That has helped me in some *odd* situations. Sorry I can't be more
specific as to *why* this trick (sometimes) works; I don't quite understand it
myself. The default Bounding_Threshold in POV-Ray is 3--or so it seems--not 25
as mentioned in the docs. Try alternately changing it to 1, or to 50 or more
(i.e., two extremes.)

I'd be curious to know if this helps.
