BTW, I *am* trying to figure out a way to fix this...the main problem is 
that I can't simply check for an object between the glow and the camera, 
I will also have to handle transparent and semitransparent objects.

The blocker inc handles this.  All you need to do is build a model. 
Declare it, remove any objects you don't want to block the glow and plug it
into the inc.  Add the other objects later. Tada.

I don't see how it is possible with the information available to scene 
files...even with eval_pigment(). How does it handle layered textures?
