Then I can suggest only two options:
1) Use some clever bounding or the Superpatch's light groups (I think
you understand what I have in mind);
2) Use a cone to contain the media.
Other than that, what you want contradicts the way POV's media works.
You cannot have a diffuse (non-directional) scattering model, bright
scattered light and a transparent (thin) media all together. AFAIK, this
applies in Real Life, too.
