Sculpted prims have dodgy physics because the sim is not using the  
sculpt texture to calculate their shape yet. Whether the mesh is hard  
to simulate or not isn't relevant... the mesh isn't actually being  
used at all by the sim. From comments Qarl has made they are  
intending to use the actual mesh at some point, but right now all  
sculpted prims are treated as spheres by the sim.
