That makes sense, because pov decides which light group the media's in by
seeing what the last surface was that the ray passed through. This is of
course wrong, because what you want to happen is for it to compute one media
with the light and the other without, but presumably pov just hasn't got a
way to represent that information internally.
You've just reminded me that the media I was struggling with was inside a
light group, perhaps that was my problem. I'll do a quick test... nope, I
think mine was something different.
