System Information
Windows 7 64-bit, AMD Radeon HD 7700

Blender Version
Broken: 2.71 6/30/14

Short description of error

Okay, this is an obscure one, and is dealing with the bge.texture module's replacement of textures on materials.

The first time you load the blend file and run the engine, the replacing object isn't onscreen and the material never updates. Every other time you press play, it will.

In the standalone player, it's basically always "the first time", so unless the replacing object is onscreen when the game begins, the material will never update.

Note that you can force the texture to update if you do something with the texture's source image every frame - for some reason, that seems to "kickstart" the process. In the example, if you un-comment the "print(id(obj['RenderToTexture'].source.image))" line and then run the standalone player it will update correctly, whether in the standalone player or the embedded player. It's almost like the engine forgets the object's supposed to be render-to-texture enabled.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Press P to see the closest falling cube not update its texture on the first play. It will work correctly on the subsequent plays. Use the standalone player to always see the closest falling cube never update its texture.

I can not confirm the bug. For me, the cube is rendered over the other cube from first try (both embedded and player)

@solarlune: you don't have any material on the object Cube.001, it will render as black in the blenderplayer, or your texture font is also black on the object Cube so we see nothing, but if you create a material on Cube.001 all works.
