Directional light is not lighting a mesh correctly

Shadows/Lights

-

Steps to repro:
1. Open the minimal report project and the scene 'repro_648579'
2. It is a stripped scene from the original project, containing only lights and meshes
3. Both meshes use the same shader, which outputs the exact colour of the main directional light in the scene
4. But yet the results aren't the same: one mesh isn't receiving any light and it switches to white and black randomly when changing selection. (see the screenshot)

Expected result: both objects should output the same color
Actual result: one object isn't receiving light correctly

    I have a similar issue and hope it is not my buggy hardware causing this:

    the similar problem occurs with the current unity version 4.6.1f1 for Android (although not totally sure this is the same issue as I cannot see the screenshot/project). When using the Space Shooter Demo and mobile shaders there is a random flickering of black and white triangles on some objects. The strage thing is, that the selection of shaders/lightmaps on one object affects other gameobjects in the scene as well. Examples with Space Shooter demo on device:

    Example 1: player ship with mobile/bumped diffuse or mobile/bumped specular and asteroides/enemies with mobile/bumped specular => player has the 'flickering desease'.
    Example 2: player ship with mobile/bumped diffuse and single lightmap and asteroides/enemies with bumped specular => asteroides/enemies with 'flickering desease'.
    Example 3: player ship and enemies with mobile/vertex lit and asteroides mobile/bumped specular => player with 'flickering desease'.
    Example 4: same as example 3, but in addition with single lightmap on player => everything o.k. until the player dies. Then flickering of asteorides/enemies.
    General: if there is flickering, it appears on all 'deseased objects' at the same time. The flickering comes and goes (randomly) repeated.
    Additional info: the same flickering appears in angry birds, too. (But only very locally on one blue bird.)
    On Nexus 7 the 'desease' rules, on Rapax tablet (low end device) no problems at all (???).

    Hope this helps in finding a solution.
