That's because glows aren't objects. And, um, version 0.3 didn't 
consider them objects either, the same error would show up. In fact, 
some of the work done between 0.3 and 0.3.1 was to make them behave more 
like objects...it obviously wasn't complete, but they should now be 
allowed in some places they weren't before(in unions, for example). I 
still have to make them transform along with light sources and CSG 
objects, though.(maybe they should be attachable to any object...)

My best guess is that you were using glows in light sources before, and 
"naked" glows now. Since light sources are objects, that error didn't 
show up.
