Yeah...I get that very occasionally since 1.1, as well...but for me it's the ground tiles. Typically if I remain in the spot for a minute or so, they finally load in and look normal.
Oh yeah, I got 'em in Fallout 3, Oblivion and definitely in NV. There was a real bad one in Oblivion where literally 1/2 of my screen would just look like I was on acid and simply would NOT correct itself no matter what I tried. I believe it gets stuck on one of the smaller mipmaps instead of loading the final base texture.)
I've kinda gotten used to them now (like MANY glitches in Bethesda games), and when one don't switch to the base texture I just sort of grin, shake my head and keep on trucking! At least it's not a gamebreaking glitch, lol.
