The ice planet is compressed using DXT5 (with an alpha channel)... while most other bases are using DXT1 (which has a boolean transparency).
At 1024x1024, it might be one of the biggest DXT5 textures we have in the game, though I don't understand why your drivers would be having trouble with that one.
Are there any other textures that you have seen this behavior in? Or just the ice planet?

Most likely lost count of the bugs we have found in various video drivers over the years even stops the game from running at times and one of the first pieces of advice we give new users is check your video drivers.So this is a driver issue?

Yes although it may not make a diff if it is a bug on Nvidia's side and in that case we pack up the things for a formal bug report to Nvidia i don't see it with the current Linux driver for my 6800gt can't boot my XP drive ATM so can't report on that side.
