Interesting.  We were just talking about some vtk oddities in the x11- 
users and xquartz-dev mailing list.

Since you're seeing this purely in carbon, my guess now is that this  
is an issue with either OpenGL.framework (which would mean it's in  
both Tiger and Leopard... which I think isn't too likely) or with VTK  
itself.
