Is it possible to share the file ?
Maybe this is helpy, too:

The mysterious thing is in my opinion
the darkened blurred shadow from the cube,
which is reflected to the sphere.

Ha, that was some very intensive GI research ;)
GI in V5 and earlier had great trouble with reflections and refractions. I
really don't recommend going through that pre-V6 GI agony all over again!
V6 completely solved that problem, its GI has improved dramatically (but it
can be a chore to find the right settings and it's still too slow, I'll post
some tips about V6 settings.
BTW my recent panoramic experiments used this testscene, obviously it was
rendered in V6 and the reflection looks better than in any V5 render and is
handled by the standard GI shader automagically.
good luck,
