spotlight is supposed to use radius and falloff values less than 90, so not
too surprising it would have peculiarities at ~90.

I'll take this opportunity to say that a variable sized origin would be a
great thing, which has been suggested many times by many people.  I guess
that would have been tried long ago if anyone could have managed to create
it.
