The strangeness seems particular to the car paint shader I was working on. (The artifacting doesn't happen in simpler shaders using falloff.) The idea was to have the paint shift color near the edges to achieve a pearlescent effect. Does work to some degree, but the reflection weirdness limits it.
Other than that, the falloff channel thingy is powerful stuff. 
Made a Hal 9000 effect with it and some fuzzy cloudlike shaders. I'm sure there's even some more inventive uses.
