There's nothing strange about your images, this is what i would expect from
my experiences with radiosity. Rather than raising brightness, it might be
a better idea to make your sky brighter instead, by raising either the
colour or the ambient well above 1. This better approximates reality - when
indoors, the outside environment is incredibly bright compared to any
possible interior lights. This should light the room better while keeping
the interior objects' interaction realistic at the same time.

Also, as I'm sure others here will soon confirm, as a rule it's a good idea
to use assumed_gamma 1. Hopefully somebody will also explain why, because I
can't remember the reasoning! :)
