try the loft ... checkbox in your create strands compound.
and if you use the sitoa strand compound, there´s also one for the
rotations.
not sitting in front of xsi now, but sure you´ll figure it out within
one minute ;)

You posted an Arnold render. You mean that you can't achieve the same
result with mr, or that the Arnold result itself is wrong?

I just need to randomize of the geometrys y-rotation, and
according to the docs and pointers given here earlier this should
do the trick, but no go. Is there a magic step I might have missed
to get it working?

I have a nice setup which creates lovely grass deforming
geometry instances on strands so I can have turbulent wind
moving the strands around. I am using Emit Strands for this,
but I seem to be unable to randomize the instance
y-orientation using a Randomize Rotation by Cone - they are
unaffected by this. If I create a different setup using Emit
from Geometry and Create Strands on that, I can control the
y-rotation, but then the instances are upside down, and my non
simulated turbulence does not work.
How can I get to control instance y-rotation when using Emit
Strands?
