I should have remembered the assumed_gamma issue before posting this... but 
on the other hand, why does this only cause a problem for the PNG output but 
not the BMP or TGA? And why does the render window look OK while the file 
doesn't?

Personally I've never understood the need for Gamma adjustment within 
POVRay... I'd second any motion for ripping it out!
