Bump Mapping Causes Lighting Bug in Ranguemont Pass

Platform: Windows
Frequency: Always
Area and Coordinates: Ranguemont Pass, K-5 (among others)

Steps:

1. In Final Fantasy XI Config, set default settings for everything, but turn bump mapping on
2. Walk through Ranguemont Pass
3. Marvel at the dark floors and lighted ceilings
4. Re-configure Final Fantasy XI Config to turn off bump mapping
5. Note that #2 above does not occur

This is independent of all other settings in Config (but tested and confirmed at default settings), and has been reproduced on both an ATI desktop adapter and an Intel integrated GPU.
