Ah!  OK, I've gone through the photon docs yet again, and I see where I 
missed the mark.  I had the idea in my head that turning off photon 
collecting meant that photons ignored that object completely.  Thanks for 
the explanation, it cleared up some of the points that weren't very clear 
to me in the docs.

I've got another render going now with 2 million photons, corrected 
collection, and no radiosity (I've yet to find good radiosity settings that 
work with photons in this scene).
