I think that I found a solution, or the problem if you wish. The corona scatter objects were generated in Corona v6 and I am using 7 now, so the old scatter objects were deleted an new created. Seems to be working, or at least I am getting lucky because I submitted two low res tests and both came rendered right like they should.

Could it be that the scatter was changed in a way that could be generating this problem?

no, I've found out it is because some textures are used only on the scattered objects, that are hidden and displayed only via scatter - when you unhide source objects, it works. I will fix this in next release

There goes my debugging action, but good to know that the solutions is so easy.
