That's actually right: given the presence of n different
layer types in the vicinity of an empty voxel, the algorithm
would need to decide by some sort of "majority vote"
which type to assign to that voxel.

How? You could make the interpolated value depend on a 
fuzzy set member function, I suppose, but the situation
here is actually so well defined that I think a probabilistic
approach would be preferable. Since each voxel can only
store one value, a second output map could store the
classification probability. That may be very useful
for visualization (you could show voxels with little
probability hazier).
