I can see what you mean.  But these artefacts are different from those
resulting of insufficient max_gradient.  I don't think they are something
new users have to struggle with very often.  

I don't know much about the isosurface algorithm, but maybe that's even
something that could be fixed.

BTW, i recognize some of my textures in that scene...
