I can't duplicate this with my build of the Superpatch, with either mesh 
or mesh2.  What do you get when you render the scene below?

#include "colors.inc"

#declare ManTex = texture{
    //pigment{color rgb<.5.5.5>}// this works
    pigment{Gray95}// this is transparent
    finish{ambient .01 diffuse .3}
    normal{bumps scale .0001}
}

camera {location <0,0,-10> look_at 0}
light_source {<-20,-20,-20> rgb 2}
plane {-z,-5 pigment {bozo}}

//mesh {
//  triangle {x,y,z texture {ManTex}}
//}  

mesh2 {
  vertex_vectors {3, x,y,z }
  texture_list {1, texture{ ManTex }}
  face_indices {1, <0,1,2>,0 }
}
