Yes, as far as I can tell, it has something to do with the double-sided polygons. Poser 4 is less sensitive to such things, but Poser 5 doesn't seem to like them, even with the old P4 renderer. No official fix as yet, although there is a simple workaround.

Plug your texture map into the Displacement channel and set it to a very small value (0.01). I'm not sure why this works. My theory is that the displacement manages to separate both sides of the polys just enough to avoid the effect.
