In the end, though, I managed to produce something I really like. If you've been following along, you'll know that @welshpixie and I are collaborating with a series of dIFS Pongs... This one follows from her "Futurescape".
I tried keeping some connection with her piece while still making it very different. I changed the transformation formula from Apollo2D-IFS to Apollo3D-IFS, changed the order of the formulae, and also separated BoxIFS from the other two using DEcombinate mode.

What I did:
First things first, I loaded up @welshpixie's Pong 004 "Futurescape":
Then followed the frustration as described above... If I were to include all the screenshots I took, and the ones I didn't take when I started getting annoyed, you'd be scrolling for some time... Let these four suffice:
As I said, I swapped out Apollo2D-IFS for Apollo3D-IFS, and changed the order of the formulae. Once I caught sight of the first image above, I knew almost exactly what sort of thing I wanted. Then at last, the fun part, adding colour, for which I used this as a colour map:
