What happens with the architectural shader? Seems to be working OK here.

Make to spheres.
Put the same architecural shader on each of them.
Render with the default light.
Now put any UV projection on one of the spheres.
Render again and observe.

You might need to orbit the camera a bit:



Notice the "two" highlights on the right sphere? Reflections are off by the way.
In some occasions it can lead to problems like this:

I sincerely doubt, if this bug will ever get fixed as the accompanying "workaround"

Yeah, it´s not really a big thing, but it´s been around for some time now, and those glitches tend to "team up" eventually and make a software less fun to use.

Again, I vote for less new stuff and more cleanup.
