It sounds like it may be a problem with the ray-isosurface intersection
code.  Since the isosurface is a *approximation* of the actual surface, the
intersection code may be getting confused and thinking that the two surfaces
are coincident.  Try increasing the accuracy of the isosurfaces as high as
you can.
