I looked at the source, and it doesn't seem to do anything 
unusual...does it work if the material statement is the last thing in 
the mesh other than transforms?
Or are you talking about a material per triangle? If so, are you sure 
that works with the ordinary mesh?

What?
Were you saying that it doesn't make sense to let each triangle in a 
mesh have it's own interior statement, because they are parts of a 
single object?
Hmm, this could be seen both ways:
1: If it lets you specify a texture for a specific portion of the 
surface, it should let you specify a whole material for that portion.
2: Individual triangles are parts of one object with one interior, so 
materials don't make sense for individual triangles.

It probably could be "fixed", but it wouldn't be very useful, and would 
increase the amount of memory used.
