Oh Dave -thank you!  This indeed is a reasonable solution.  Wouldnt have occurred to me Daz would use different textures for default and injected -cant begin to imagine why...
Also cant imagine why anyone would want to us the silly brief texture ever. So, I injected the low res textures, edited the 2_SkinHip material and replaced the smpl_brief with smpl_malebody. I saved the modified M4 as a new figure. So now I have an M4 figure that works in skinvue, and will work everytime I use this figure+textures, no additional workarounds required. Hurray- I'm a happy bunny.

Thanks Dave for finding a pragmatic fixup for things Daz srewed up.

PS - my revised M4 figure also has his genitals re-attached (who started this barbaric practice of detaching them anyhow?) so it would be nice if it didnt have the crossed out circles on them. Maybe in skinvue 7?
