@jsmack, this isn't the behavior I'm experiencing. I get a USD output without a binding, just a shop_materialpath primvar in partitions.
Attached below is the repro.
Houdini Core Version 18.0.287
Repro steps:
1. in /stage, create a “Sop Create” node
2. in /mat, create a principled shader, select teal as an emissive color.
3. in /stage/sopcreate1, create a “box” and assign it the material via “material” node.
4. material will appear teal inside /stage/sopcreate1/sopnet/create.
5. in /stage, right-click sopnet1 -> LOP Options -> Inspect Flattened Stage.
Output USD:
#usda 1.0

defaultPrim = "sopcreate1"
