This part is already fixed already and will be in the next beta.  As for the
photons problem it seems to be caused by introducing strict recusion level
checking for reflected rays.  There was a bug there before and the problem is
a completely unitended side effect of the bugfix.  Photons are surely going to
be fixed in one way or the other to work as they always did, too.
