If you're using spotlights in your scene, there seems to be a bug with
media-filled objects when using spotlights (and cylinder lights).  I only
recently came across this problem, and posted a discussion about it...

The only solution that I found was to turn off media_interaction in the
lights (which in your case would be OK, since you're using emission media.)
Perhaps this will help?

Another solution: use a regular or parallel light and a mask. The mask is a 
simple box with a hole punched trough with a cylinder.
