Mix Material emission disappears when displacement turned on

Hey Everyone,

I am trying to test the mixing of two materials, one of them being a rock and the other being a blackbody emission so that they show equally at 100% (no 50-50 mix). I have that part accomplished, however whenever I add the Displacement channel in the MIX MATERIAL, my blackbody emissions get turned off. Attached are some images that help explain.

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

I've had this problem.

Basically, it does work, but you have to push your emission power way up! So instead of 100, it would be something like 10000.

I feel that that's a bug. Why it needs to be so high when using displacement, I don't understand.
But it does work.
