Not a bug, but a poor choice of keyword to implementation. Internaly,
shadowless
makes the light a fill-light, A softer light without highlights. Imagine
those
lights in an umbrella at a professional photographer. 

The way around this (as long as you don't have too many refletive
surfaces)
is to put a normal light at camera location. (These are normally where i
put 
my fill lights anyways)
