That's not how it should be of course.

Now that you mention it, I didn't add any code to explicitly inform 
POV-Ray that during the backside shadow testing we're /inside/ the 
object of course (if it is solid and not just a patch). Symptoms to be 
expected: Failure of POV-Ray to compute media for the object...

Ouch.
