There is a minor bug/typo in mri_surf2vol that was leading to registration issues if the "--fillribbon" flag is used, like in my case.
https://github.com/freesurfer/freesurfer/blob/dev/mri_surf2vol/mri_surf2vol.cpp#L373 The call to MRIcopyHeader(OutVol,VtxVol); has to happen after the closing of the if/else statement, otherwise the if branch (fillribbon) won't be covered and the output vtxvol file will have a wrong header.
