The partly colored parts indicate LDView is having troubles, not LPub.

LPub's communication of what to render is done through LDraw files in the
<yourmodeldirectory>/LPub/tmp directory.
Those files should simply be the parts (up to a given step) from your original
LDraw file. LPub does nothing to change part colors before handing the render
to LDView. LPub does however mess with location and orientation matricies.
You can try to have LDView render the temp files directly, but I'm not sure how
much this will tell you. LPub uses many LDView command line options when
invoking LDView.

Feel free to try the latest incarnation of LPub 4.0.0.2. I think I have this
issue resolved.
