Have you thought about doing it as a cylinder light_source, slower but it 
might solve your problem:

//code
union{
cylinder{0,x*100, 1 hollow
pigment {rgbt 1}
interior{
media{
scattering{3,1}
density{
cylindrical rotate 90*z
color_map{
[0 rgb 0]

[0.5 red 3]
[0.9 rgb 5]

[1 rgb 10]}
}
}
}
scale <1,.2,.2>
}

light_source{0 rgb 10 cylinder point_at x*100}
translate<-50,0,10>
}
//end code

This is done with a non-defined camera so you'll need to tweak the 
intensities and translate to get it to look right.
