Problem with nested replicas in GDML geometries

Dear ROOTers,
I’m having an issue trying to load a GDML geometry in Eve. The geometry in question is a semplification of a silicon microstrip layer composed of two nested replicas (a laddder is made up by replicated silicon pads, and the layer is made up by replicated ladders).

When I import it in Eve the resulting TGeometry only reaches the first replicated volumes (I see only ladders and no sensors).
If I load up a TGeometry version of the same geometry everything is fine and all volumes are present.
If I load the GDML geometry in the GEANT4 native visualization tool everything is fine and all volumes are present.
I’m placing both version of the same geometry here:
/afs/cern.ch/user/v/vformato/public/GDMLTest/TestGeometry.gdml /afs/cern.ch/user/v/vformato/public/GDMLTest/TestGeometry.root

I suspect something amiss in the GDML-to-TGeo conversion that is internally happening. Any idea where the problem might be?

Anyone with experience with the ROOT GDML implementation around?
