Light parents in funny scenes

[Gladsomebeast]

I'm setting the parent of a light to a node in scene2. The light does not illuminate the scene.

import viz
viz.go()

SIM_SCENE = viz.Scene2

viz.scene(SIM_SCENE)
viz.MainView.getHeadLight().disable()

worldInAnotherScene = viz.addGroup(parent=viz.WORLD, scene=SIM_SCENE)
mylight = viz.add(viz.LIGHT, parent=worldInAnotherScene)
viz.add('female.cfg', parent=worldInAnotherScene )

Can you set the parent of a light to a node? Why does the light not respect the scene of the parent?
