Crap. I wish I'd known that. Now I have to go back through all my scenes 
and set point_at to <0,0,0>. Might want to mention this in the docs too. 
For instance, you might want to change this:

	Light source default values:
	LIGHT_TYPE        : pointlight
	falloff           : 70
	media_interaction : on
	media_attenuation : off
 >	point_at          : <0,0,0>
	radius            : 70
	tightness         : 10
