I believe you are correct. Shadows ought to be handled differently.
Using degree 2 bernstein-bezier polynomials feels kind of right,
assuming one could convince oneself that this problem is identical
to smoothing three samples into a blending function, as if we were
"plotting" a parabola by using three "control points" I'd implement
the code with forward differencing or DeCastlejau's algorithm,
though - which probably already lives elsewhere in the Gimp anyway.
I think this is worthy of a bug report. Will submit one if you don't
beat me to it.
