I've debugged into the ISGlobalToLocalMappingApplyBlock() function and 
it seems to me the bounds checking in there is not correct when the 
blocksize is > 1.

It checks against the same bounds, scaled up by the blocksize, in both 
the block and non-block versions of the function. I think for the block 
version the bounds should not be scaled.

I've just created a pull request 
(acroucher/fix-IS-global-to-local-mapping-block) with a suggested fix.
