Yeah, I realized (after posting my message), that it was a problem with
LDLite handling a subfile which was an MPD. I changed to the equivalent
DAT, and everything's fine now.

Good point.
Your "1. Inside the document if it is an MPD" reminds me: how do renderers
handle caching of submodels inside an MPD? Are these files visible outside
of the MPD, or do they lose scope?
With the following files, how will C.DAT render? Will 'some stuff' be
drawn twice, or will we see 'some stuff' and 'some other stuff'?
A.MPD:
0 FILE A.DAT
1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 B.DAT
0
0 FILE B.DAT
some stuff
0
B.DAT:
some other stuff
0
C.DAT:
1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 A.MPD
1 16 0 48 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 B.DAT
0
