WF5 Rendered JPEG Exports Different Than Onscreen

WF5, M090
Playing with JPEG exports in WF5 with real-time rendering turned on. I
LOVE that I can FINALLY save as a JPEG in perspective without having to
do the menu dance because Pro/E would kick you out of perspective mode.
I like that real time rendering is finally somewhat useful, out of the
box.
What I don't like is that the saved JPEGs don't match what I see on
screen. The highlights change and the reflection and shadow gets
cropped oddly. And, if I save at a higher DPI (400-600), it's not even
rendered. (Typical PTC, frankly - fix it 80%-90% but still leave it
crippled enough that they shouldn't have bothered. But I digress.) The
problem doesn't seem to exist in WF4.
I've attached 3 JPEGs, one from the Windows7 snipping tool showing what
I saw onscreen, the other two from the Pro/E exports at 100 DPI and 400
DPI.
Anyone else find this and have a solution? I have a call into PTC, but
I thought I'd ping the group here as well.
