Weird things. Similar to overlapping faces, but Max specific

Ok. Was asked about smth wrong with render. Tried everything (secondary ray bias, geometry checked twice...). But, when I opened the scene in max9 x64 and pressed render - all went fine, no glitches.
BTW - when I delete bend modifier or turn off limit effect (also in bend) - works like a charm (in max. Maybe it's max8 related bug, but I was told, that 1.47.03 renders it fine.
Below max8 render.

And a friend of mine found another scene. Max8

And I found a temp workaround - place default max displacement modifier (don't change its settings) and all renders fine. Works ONLY for max8! In max9 - you should use VRayDisplacement modifier OR Shell (sometimes it works, but planes already were shelled...) OR FFD Modifier

This is already corrected.
