Thanks Bryce,
I suspect that the general rule is that we should turn off averaging for
any pixel that has (or borders) an epsilon < 1, as otherwise it leads to
an instability.
We saw a similar bug report recently where the eps-averaging? causes
problems if you include perfect metals.
For now, anyone doing simulations with metals, dispersive or not, is
probably well-advised to (set! eps-averaging? false).
Cordially,
Steven G. Johnson
