Yes, the module LatToGeom2 fixes this problem. 

To quote from the README file from the SIGGRAPH  Explorer CD...

  There are a few modules that are enhanced versions of existing modules.
  All of these modules are appended with the number 2. The enhancements are :

  IsosurfaceLat2  Added slider for which variable to color vs surface
  IsosurfacePyr2  Added slider for which variable to color vs surface
  LatFunction2            Fixed initialization bug
  LatToGeom2              Added support for transparency

....
