Fallout 3 mesh/LOD/transparency bug?

[TheReverendTholomewPlague]

Recently, I've noticed a strange graphical issue in Fallout 3. It's probably best if I leave the describing to screenshots. Bear in mind, this issue disappears when I get closer to the object (usually ruined buildings) and reappears (fades) when I move away from it. Screenshots are of the GECK but it happens in-game too.

 

No other game has this problem.

 

This only started happening recently.

 

First screen demonstrates the issue. If you look closely, you can see partially see through the first level floor.

Second screen demonstrates the issue at a different angle.

Third screen shows that the object looks fine at close range.
