OK - it was a shot in the dark. I've not followed your color space 
function() development.

A suggesting is trying the isosurface coded in your scene at a rotations 
around where it is breaking up, at a low resolution, no aa+, area light, 
etc., as

isosurface {
}

not used by reference (github #114 (#113 is related)), so you get some 
idea what the max gradient really is and how it is changing.
