IMO the problem is it's only blending to the adjacent cell, and it always
uses pov's cubic curve rather than trying to maintain a smooth gradient. If
I'm understanding correctly Vincent's technique was actually doing cubic
interpolation, rather than just using cubic_wave (which isn't equivalent)...
Of course I'm saying all this without checking anyone's source code, but
since it's based on my blended cells I would expect it to create curved
steps where there should be a smooth gradient, which would cause the problem
you're seeing.
Wow I explained that really badly!
