There are pathological cases when the doubling method is practically impossible.

I wonder... Would it be difficult to implement separate textures for the two
sides of a surface? I.e. when the surface normal is >90 degrees from the current
ray, use one texture - and when <90 degrees use another. Sound simple, at least
in principle.
