Found the problem... I hadn't noticed that apparently a MaterialID of 0 is not permitted (and not noticed you used 1 in your screenshot.) I was under the impression that 0 = first, but apparently 0 is not a good MaterialID to set and the first = 1. Everything works fine now.
In retrospect I should've paid extra attention to the integer of 1 in your screenshot and the sample tree screenshot from the "Cloning and Copying Topology in ICE" docs page. It even says: "The value 0 is for polygons that use the object's material." but it's not in bold or anything. That's a pretty important point imho. Sorry for the noise.
