Sorry, I neglected to send you an email about this: there was a new setting added to the beta called "cartoon_nucleic_acid_mode" set cartoon_nucleic_acid_mode, 1 If you set this to one, then PyMOL's cartoon ribbon will go through the C4* carbon instead of the phosphate. The ribbons don't look as nice, but I think it addresses this issue. However, we still don't have an intelligent orientation vector for the strand, so only a simple circular tube will look right.
