Aha. I was looking at the picture of 6077, the US release, on LUGNET - and
it appears to have the 'holy' cylinder. It looks like only the European set
(677) had the cylinder with the solid top. So that would explain your
problems...
After a quick check - all my grey cylinders seem to be holy, but I do have a
couple of yellow ones with the solid tops.
