All the checker pattern does is "weave" two textures (or pigments or whatever)
together in an alternating fashion. It does no transformations whatsoever on
the textures themselves.

This is not a "shortcoming" - it's just the way the checker pattern works.
Having the pattern repeat for each tile is not always desired, so that requires
an additional operation, a so-called warp (more precisely, a repeat warp in this
case; you probably need two of them). See "3.5.12.6.2  Repeat Warp" in the POV
3.6 documentation.
