Weird. Yes, I opened the render tree on the reference object and all the nodes were floating alone with no connections. My "3rd party renderer" rendered the object with the disconnected shaders a pink, which is what you normally get when you connect up a shader that doesn't exist for it.
I added that XSI_FORCE_SHADER..... and when I loaded the scene the shaders were all connected again. Could be coincidence. I'm not on the beta for Soft, but I can log a tech support request if that'd help.
