invisible emitters reflecting in specular materials

When you have a diffuse material with emitter (blackbody or texture), set the opacity of the material to 0 and enable transparent emission, you can see the reflection of the object in specular and glossy materials. The behaviour should be the same for the reflection - the object should not be visible.

Hi,
We currently have a new version being tested internally. I will confirm whether the bug has been addressed there. Otherwise, we will seek to amend this as soon as possible.
Cheers,
Azen

Haven't it been discussed before?
There is an option to disable specular reflections of emissive objects –
"Visible on diffuse" checkbox.
What you are referring to affects camera view of an object, not it's reflection.

You have to uncheck "Visible on Specular" in the Emission Node Settings
