Yes.  I've known about this for a long time but there is no easy solution
without causing horrible recursion that would probably lead to a
out-of-stack-space crash.  If you use $ instead of #declare for the texture,
it should work.  The problem, if I remember correctly, is the mix of
#declare with a texture (so there is no semi-colon) followed directly by a
$.

It is because of this kind of strange behavior that this feature will not
make it into POV 3.5.
