MapHardness setting in SMD overrides water settings

Seems that if one uses the MapHardness tag in an smd file, the water goes full 'opaque' (well not-translucent ).
Doesn't seem to matter what the hardness is set to (ie 101 or 1000), the water goes dark.

The tag MapHardness is only called 2 times in sources. When it is read from the SMD, and when baseStrength is calculated (baseStrength is used to calculate the size of the crater).
baseStrength=-pow(strength,0.6f)*3/mapHardness;
So in fact, it take strength, which must be the power of the weapond, calculate strength^0.6, multiply by 3 and divide by mapHardness.
So it shouldn't crash the water like it does.
(if any one understand why it is -pow(...) and not pow(...), tell me :). And another fun stuff i will test, MapHardness is float, so it can be negative :))
