displacement causes polygons to disappear

Hi,
I've noticed that when there is displacement on an object that has polygons with zero surface area in their uvs, those polygons disappear in the render. I would expect the texture to simple smear over these polygons. I've attached a simple scene demonstrating this with a switch node that nudges the uvs just slightly to "fix" the behavior. This is not an ideal workaround though.
Could be a standalone issue but I don't think I can isolate this without someone testing this on another package.

Thanks alot.

Yes, this is an Octane limitation. I have the same behavior in the Standalone. I will report the issue to the Octane team.

Thanks,
