I've noticed similar behavior with ssg ... I've never been able to get
an ssgSimpleState to work consistantly if it doesn't use
gl_color_material and if it doesn't have a texture.  I've seen this
enough times to speculate that either:

a) there is some state changing bug in ssg

b) there is some non-obvious thing that needs to get done to make this
work right
