In case of radiosity-finite-elements-... (as in LightScape), these are 
limitations of the algorithm.  As you can see, this doesn't prevent a 
very good light simulation.

In case of monte-carlo/photons/...  algorithms (as in MRay, Brazil,..),
it must be (well, I'm not 100% sure, but close) intentional, since it
causes a great speedup.  Definitely worth a try.
