Seems the old mode has changed to behave like per frame mode wrt
normals. I always set the normals as I want, to avoid problems, thus
never noticed changes, now or in past.

Example: I created a box as room (cube with one face removed) with
default normals, plane as light, one icosphere with default normals,
other with normals inside... this last one got light all over in 2.22
and no light in 2.28c, and walls looked ok in 2.22 but not in 2.28c.
So well, no results or wrong results... none really the expected
look. Telling Blender where to exactly point the normals always seem
to give similar (and expected) results in both versions.
