I don't know if it's realy a bug, I like to call it an improvement.
Anyway, as it is now, it makes it reasier to correctly place the 
looks_like at the same place as the light_source.

You can have something like:
#macro My_light(Location, Colour) = light_source{Location, Colour 
looks_like{Some_Object}}}

As long as the object is defined at the origin, then, for any value of 
Location, the looks_like object will be at the correct location.

That behaviour did NOT change since the early betas of version 3.7.
