It looks like a bug to me. I can confirm that the behavior is the same for
POV-Ray for Windows Version 3.7.0.msvc10.win64 (The official version)

Here's a minimal scene for v3.7:

// ===== 1 ======= 2 ======= 3 ======= 4 ======= 5 ======= 6 ======= 7

#version 3.7;

global_settings { assumed_gamma 1.0 }

sphere {
    0*z, 2
    texture {
        pigment { color blue 0.2 }
        finish { phong 1 }
    }
}

background { color rgb <1.0, 1.0, 0.8> }

light_source {
    100*<1, 1, -2>
    color rgb <1, 1, 1>
    shadowless
}

camera {
    translate -10*z
}

// ===== 1 ======= 2 ======= 3 ======= 4 ======= 5 ======= 6 ======= 7
