Even worse: a global light will cast a shadow from an object A in 
lightgroup X on an object B in lightgroup Y, but another object C in 
lightgroup X  wich is directly behind B (from the view of A), will not be 
shadowed by A, neither by the global light, nor by a light_source in 
light_group X, wich is in the same location as the global light. 
"global_lights off" is specified for X. 

Irritating, isn't it ;-)
