I guess the thing is quite simple: The generic "texture" and "interior_texture"
are fallback textures that are applied to all triangles that don't have a
texture_list item assigned. So if you do assign a texture_list item, that
texture is applied to both sides, and both "texture" and "interior_texture"
remain without effect to this triangle.

It's a pity there is nothing like a "interior_texture_list", but I guess we have
to live with this limitation for now.

What you could do would be to split up the mesh object by textures before
exporting to POV-Ray, strip each of the resulting objects of the texture_list,
and assign both a texture and interior_texture. Finally combine them via a
union.
