Although your sample seems not very efficient, it should work quite ok,
just use:

  method 1

or

  eval

or
  max_gradient 20

as additional parameter in the isosurface.

By default megapov uses method 2 for predeclared functions and default
max_gradient is 1 while 'eval' reveals max_gradient above 13 for your
function.  For a simple geometric shape like yours 'method 1' is better
anyway.
