  No, I personally think that it's a bug.
  To me it looks a lot like there's a coding mistake, or else some
algorithmic mistake in the radiosity code. It could perfectly be something
really, really simple (eg a '<' when it should be a '<=' or something similar),
although it could also be something a lot more complicated.
  In theory, lowering 'error_bound' and increasing 'count' should give a more
accurate lighting (at the cost of a longer render). The lighting should still
be smooth, not splotchy. There has to be some bug somewhere...
