Yes, indeed - this is correct.

AFAIK even after manualy adding fade_power 2 to evey light_source it still 
will not solve problem - since diffused rays (in radiosity calculations) 
and direct media rays (radiosiy from ambient-media) as well as photons will 
not fade that way...? Or perhaps radiosity is behaving as fade_power 2 by 
default - because of way how rays are shooted? Hmm I must check that...
