We ran into something that looks similar. Try a different version of Houdini. Houdini 20.5.584 appears to be the only one with the issue.
The next build will support 20.5.613 which does not have the issue.

You should use Texture Instance Color rather than Color Vertex Attribute. If there is no node attached to the material color, a Texture Instance Color is created automatically as a shortcut.

Not yet, while the plugin is still in development but we do want to make a Linux build in the future.

H19 crashes when we compile the plugin with optimization enabled. We are working with SideFX to find a solution. Other than that one issue it is already working with H19. We would have preferred to release for H19 since it uses a later version of USD.

The installation text has since been updated as the copying step is no longer required since the main Octane Houdini plugin is included with the Octane Solaris distribution.
Instead just edit the Houdini.env file so that the combined plugin folder is used. This way both plugins share the same ...

You can set the OCIO system variable to the config.ocio file provided with Houdini 18.5.x.

Add this line to Houdini.env:
OCIO = "C:\Program Files\Side Effects Software\Houdini 18.5.462\houdini\ocio\config.ocio"
