having problems animating emit

i have setup an animation where i change the emit value.

i can see the values changing when i move from keypoint to keypoint both in the materials window and the ipo material curve.

but in the materials preview and in the render it is always shown as emit would be with 1 (even when it is set to 0)

am i doing something wrong or unsupported? any tips with this problem?

thanks in advance

i did some test and i found that my problems only occur once i insert ALL COLOR keys. if i only animate RGB for example it works fine. but as far as i understand i can only animate the emit value using ALL COLOR.
