I tried it and at least don't see anything unexpected.  Could you post an
image, please?

So you have tried it in 3.1 and it doesn't appear?  If it doesn't happen in

So you are suggesting it is only an odd camera and light position together
with an overall very "small" scene?  Does it go away when scaling everything
