Note that the use of fog{} is killing the caustics.

Indeed. POV-Ray help in chapter 3.4.4.4.2 says so and therefor I didn't 
see anything wrong with Thomas' code. And POV did behave like this back 
in the past.
I was just a lucky to add collect on/off anyway anywhere.

Maybe the default has been broken then?

Still too dark but that can be amended easily. All objects do not need 
to be replaced by mesh2{}, only those which need proper tweaking for 
photons and such but it is a rewarding exercise nonetheless.

a water isosurface might be a good move indeed...

Okay, here's an attempt I'm finally happy enough with to post.

I added a third chair after fixing the broken chair mesh, but then decided to
just keep the rest of the meshes in the original versions for better comparison
with the other render engines. I did instance the walls and scale up 1.001 to
eliminate the light-leaking.

Thanks to Christoph and Thomas for the proper light position and tips about
wonky materials and radiosity settings.

Yet they do.

collect on /is/ supposed to be the default, and Christoph says it still is.

Regardless, I too have had many weird photon issues in the past, so when using
multiple transparent/reflecting/refracting surfaces I typically specify on or
off in each photon block just for my own sanity in optimizing render times.

I find it interesting how each individual interprets the scene 
differently. Good work indeed.

One comment I could make perhaps is that the sky seems to be all around 
the building with no ground plane present. I think this influences the 
lighting of the interior.

Another comment (on the geometry): You can see light leaking around the 
skylights. This is due to their position /above/ the building, leaving a 
thin space in between.

The Mesh2{} comment was more for the use of copies.
