I have run into the same problem more than once in the past and have
always achieved good results by nesting the patterned texture into the
one I couldn't layer, more precisely supplementing all clear parts
with the aforementioned patterned texture. Personally I don't see it
as a bug but rather a limitation in POV (it does give a proper error
message :) ) but have no answer as to why such a limitation exists. I
will approach the Team with this question and see if they have an
answer.
