Ok... this one is my fault... I changed the layer-texture code (to something
that I thought would work correctly... looks like I was wrong).  I was
trying to fix the "one-layer-has-transmit-and-the-other-has-filter-and-my-
texture-is-black" bug.  Sorry about that.  When I merge photons with the
superpatch (this weekend, probably), you'll have your old layered textures
back.  The photon mapping stuff is part of my "highly-experimental" personal
compile right now...
