I find that the issues you mention stem from Mirror Instance Merging of the forms where normals get screwed up even when I've attempted to unify normals. Have you tried deleting the instance and mirroring the original, then merging to see if that fixes things?

You may also wish to check this......

Before exporting from SILO go to OPTIONS>DISPLAY>OPTIONS and turn on back face culling if it isn't already checked. If you have REVERSED NORMAL POLYGONS now they will show up as spaces or holes in your model. If you have, select them and use MODIFY>REVERSE NORMALS or just use UNIFY NORMALS on the whole mesh.
