Is there a problem with using no_shadow in a light_group? (PovRay 3.5 Linux)

I have modelled as lamp and placed it in a light_group with 2 point lights.
The light bulb texture has a high ambient value, yet it kept rendering very
dark.  After playing with it I discovered the dark is because of shadowing
from the point lights.  But the bulb has no_shadow on it, and the lights
are both shadowless!

If I render the lamp separately it is fine. I only get the problem in the
light_group.  And I need the light group because I don't want the point
lights in the rest of the scene.

Anyone seen this before or know how to get around it?

RG
