When putting vertices too close together in a mesh, it causes the resulting triangles to be transparent instead of displaying their section of the image.
Here's an example:
View while editing the mesh:
Loading Image
View out of the mesh editor:

Notice the zoom is at max. The same formation but with the vertices further apart from each other displays correctly.
EDIT: Seems like I mistakenly didn't post this on the Bugs subforum.
