Thanks for the report. Fixed in CVS HEAD.

As Luis mentioned, the VectorLength meta-data wasn't propagating down
the pipeline.
The default implementation ProcessObject::GenerateOutputInformation() is
responsible for propagating meta-data to the output. This does propagate
all meta-data, including the VectorLength to the output. Most filters
use the default implementaton or call the superclass method. However, a
few filters override this method. For instance the ExtractImageFilter,
which must provide its own method cause the input and output images
could be of different dimensions ! These filters should have an extra
line that propagates VectorLength info, if any
output->SetNumberOfComponentsPerPixel(
input->GetNumberOfComponentsPerPixel() );
And that was just added.
Thanks
