Hello,
   This is the second issue I ran into with blobs lately.  What is 
happening is that when a blob with individually textured components has 
something removed using a difference, and the difference uses the 
"cutaway_textures" option, then the texturing of the components is lost. 
  What it seems like its doing is reapplying the texture from the object 
level of the blob, but not the component level.

An example scene:

#version 3.61;

#declare Use_Difference = yes;
#declare Use_Cutaway = yes;
#declare Use_Object_Texture = yes;
#declare Use_Left_Texture = yes;

#default { finish { ambient 0.1 diffuse 0.9 } }

#include "colors.inc"

global_settings {
   assumed_gamma 1.0
   max_trace_level 6
}

camera {
   location <0, 4, -7>
   up y
   right x * image_width/image_height
   look_at y * 2
}

light_source {
   <20, 10, -30>, White
}

box {
   <-50, -1, -50>, <50, 50, 10>
   inverse
   texture {
     pigment { White }
   }
}

plane {
   y, 0
   texture {
     pigment {
       checker White, Black
       scale <2.5, 1, 2.5>
     }
   }
}

#declare Glass_F =
   finish {
     ambient 0
     specular 0.9
     roughness 0.001
     reflection {
       0, 1
       fresnel
     }
     conserve_energy
   }

#declare Yellow_Glass =
   texture {
     pigment { Yellow }
     finish { Glass_F }
   }

#declare Blue_Glass =
   texture {
     pigment { Blue }
     finish { Glass_F }
   }

#declare Red_Glass =
   texture {
     pigment { Red }
     finish { Glass_F }
   }

#declare Green_Glass =
   texture {
     pigment { Green }
     finish { Glass_F }
   }


#declare Obj =
   blob {
     threshold 1

     sphere { <-1.5, 2, 0>, 3.696, 2
       #if(Use_Left_Texture)
         texture { Red_Glass }
       #end
     }

     sphere {
       <1.5, 2, 0>, 3.696, 2
       texture { Yellow_Glass }
     }

     #if(Use_Object_Texture)
       texture { Blue_Glass }
     #end

     interior {
       ior 1.62725
     }
   }

#if(Use_Difference)
   #declare Obj =
     difference {
       object { Obj }
       box {
         <-0.75, -0.75, -10>, <0.75, 0.75, 10>
         rotate z * 45
         translate y * 2
         #if(! Use_Cutaway)
           texture { Green_Glass }
         #end
       }
       #if(Use_Cutaway)
         cutaway_textures
       #end
       bounded_by {
         box { min_extent(Obj), max_extent(Obj) }
       }
     }
#end

object { Obj }

I've attached some sample images.  The first is just the blob with 
textures on the left and right components and the object as a whole. 
The second is a box differenced from the same blob.  The third is the 
same difference with the cutaway_textures keyword applied.  The last is 
the same as the third, but the object texture has been removed.  Note 
the last one generates a parse error about a missing pigment, and the 
texture looks the be the global default.

It seems component textures are just not supported with 
cutaway_textures. If this is documented somewhere and I just missed it, 
someone please let me know.

I have reproduced your problem with both 3.6 and 3.7.
