That would be possible but it's the sort of thing you'd have to do deliberately, if unintentionally. The smoothing glitches could well be due to the normal anomalies. I've been pretty reliably informed that the face normal shouldn't really affect the appearance of a poly, and this makes sense to me - in the 3d package I use it isn't and the only time it is an issue is when I'm trying to do some tricky materials - sub-surface scattering, and stuff like that. In FG's renderer though, it does seem to important at the geometry level.
