These example scenes fall foul of the syntax changes introduced in 
beta 10.

Missing semicolons are now errors rather than warnings

        animations/boing/boing1.pov
        incdemo/woods/woods1.pov

Camera type must now be the first camera parameter

        advanced/cliche/sign.pov
        camera/*.pov
        incdemo/logo.pov
        incdemo/rand_distribution.pov
        textures/pigments/transmitfx.pov

Changed interpretation of camera keywords

        advanced/isocacti.pov
        advanced/icocacti2.pov
        objects/polygon.pov

(The polygon scene still works, but the polygon object is now way off in
the distance instead of dominating the foreground)

Confirmed.

Confirmed. Simple changing the position of the camera type doesn't
always solve the problem (the images don't look as expected).

Confirmed. Commenting out the up / right line solves the problem.

I have neither icocacti2 nor isocacti2 found on my hard disk.

Confirmed.

Most of these got fixed in beta 11, but the following are still
problematic:-

Missing semicolons are now parsing errors rather than warnings

       animations/boing/boing1.pov
       incdemo/woods/woods1.pov

Changed interpretation of camera keywords

       camera/orthographic.pov

(The orthographic scene now renders, but one tiny part of one box fills
the whole screen.)
