Steve,

I suspect the driver is failing to recognise that particular ISIS3 cube
for some particular reason.  In particular the .cub parser is rather
sensitive and if the .qub keywords don't parse properly it generally
gives up and assumes the product isn't actually an ISIS3 file.

If you, or Ross can file a trac ticket with a pointer to the problem
dataset somewhere I can fetch it from, I'd be pleased to look into and
fix the problem.

Best regards,
