I get the opposite here.  UVPov 6.0 is darker than WinPOV 3.1g.  In a scene
I used to check this on it has a wine glass on a plane with wood normal (no
wood color_map though) and the normal is strikingly different. The glass and
wine is a little darker; as is the plane as well, or because of the effect
on the normal it appears so.
The wine shadow (and faked caustic, no photons used) is much improved in
UVPov versus Official POV, being brighter while the wine itself is darker
giving everything a better contrast.
