Put the camera inside the box, where obviously no light can reach, and
you'll still see the problem. It is a legitimate bug, although using a flat
box probably wasn't the best way to report it.

Its sister bug is the "shadow line artifact" bug. They're both caused by
similar flaws in the same algorithm.
