Yes, I posted a message in povray.general and later posted it to
povray.bugreports too.
Both posts are entitled "Normal scaling bug(s)".

Like Warp I think it's a very serious problem and I keep finding myself in
situations where I can't get the desired results because of this bug.

I really hope it will be fixed in the next version, but that will also
create a problem because it will break a very large percentage of all
existing scenes.
