conventions, yes, I too have "bad habits" </grin>.  but it works (for you), so
wrong isn't the word, it's more like "additional cognitive hurdle".

those "habits" can lead to "wrong" though, from your 'povray.ini':
; Aspect ratio is expected to be 9:16
Height=2160
Width=3840

correct, for you, as the height is listed first.  however, anyone else reading
this would expect the ratio / aspect to be 16:9, ie the "width:height" thing is
fixed, preferences notwithstanding ;-).

should not be the cause.  POV-Ray supplies a default texture when there's none.

I tried and ran your code to 1K frames, using 3.8.0-alpha.9945627, with
"all_file = on", and nothing.  no errors, no warnings.  hth.
