It certainly is a "problem" either way ;)

For more clarity what is going on, I suggest rendering the scene without 
radiosity. I expect that to have no effect on the problem.

It could be that area_illumination is broken with regards to scattering 
media - or it could be that you're doing something wrong.

Fact is, area_illumination and scattering media are /supposed/ to get 
along well.
