This works:

#declare Tex = texture {pigment {color rgb 1} translate x}
mesh {triangle {x, y, z texture {Tex}}}

But this doesn't work:

#declare Tex = texture {pigment {color rgb 1}}
mesh {triangle {x, y, z texture {Tex translate x}}}

My point is that if the whole texture is copied anyway, then why does it
make a difference if the texture is transformed before or after it is
applied to the triangle?

Also notice that when the mesh{} block is removed, it works fine:

#declare Tex = texture {pigment {color rgb 1}}
triangle {x, y, z texture {Tex translate x}}

It's only for optimized mesh triangles it doesn't work.
