No Lighting on Export

I'm trying to make a simple interior and export lights [link]http://testserver.foxgoggles.com/dopeywoof/rooms1.csx[/url]
When I export using export as DIF -
-----------
Cannot add the object to the scene, or rather when I do, nothing appears at all and no object is added to the current SimGroup
When I export using map2dif (TGE)
-------
I get an interior, with proper lightmaps displayed however the interior's lighting has no effect on in-game objects.
When I export using export as legagy DIF
-----------
I get an interior with incorrect lighting (or so it seems)., The lightmap information is visible, but much brighter than it should be. (The room should be incredibly dark with the exception of one area lit by a small omni light, however the entire room is quite visible and bright)
Players appear properly lit within the interior. (and I don't think I should be using legacy with TGE 152)
As a side note, the interior has no portal to the outside world so outside lighting should not have any effect on what I see inside.

The following is the map as it appears in Constructor.

Export as DIF produces no visible interior object at all

Export as Legacy DIF produces an interior but there is a whole bunch of ambient lighting for some reason, why is it so bright inside?
----------------
Using Map2Dif the lighting appears exactly as it does in the editor, but no static shapes or dynamic (players etc) are lit in the room whatsoever.

On a side note, did you try using Quark to see if it had the same issues?

Was there ever any fix for this identified? Just curious because it will have some implications on work I plan to do with Constructor in the future. Thanks!On a side note, did you try using Quark to see if it had the same issues?
