EDIT: Apparently a lighting bug, maybe because of Ambient Occlusion?
Damn it, and I thought it was somehting mysterious
------
I went to the Nether of my main world (created, ver.Alpha 1.1.2) walked for a while and created a Portal; I wanted to explore unkown and far away terrain.
Spawned in a new location and noticed that hostile mobs are spawing around the portal, at daytime. Their spawning interval seems pretty slowly though, and so far every type of enemy mob has spawned.
I made a video where you can witness the unbeliveable.
Could the new lighting code cause the inside of the portal gate to be dark enough to spawn monsters? See if you still get spawns if you plop some torches around.

So, yeah. Minecraft is kind of like walking into a high-class auction with top security and a solid reputation only to find out that everyone else in the room is a mugger. Who explodes.

Alright, I planted torches around the portal and the dark spot...so far no spawns.
But I discovered another "Spawning-Hot-Spot", a huge tree formation, with lots of dark areas, not far away from the portal.
Are you sure there wasn't a floating block above the dark spot?
No floating block there, but it's apparently a lighting glitch, I planted a torch and the shadow was gone; no mob spawning...."mystery" solved, I guess.

But really, that's weird.
I'm asking you, as a friend... Just...put an end to me.
Possible, but I haven't yet saw one spawning around my first portal, located in my base.
The portal spawning... You got me there.
Turns out I did.
