What might be causing the issue in Studio then, if not primitive substitution?

That occurred to me too, but I wasn't sure how it would be put into practice. Is the idea that programs would be able to render their own hi-res substitute parts—the full minifig head, for example—and then apply to texture to that? (I'm not entirely sure what goes on behind the scenes of primitive substitution.)
