Weird.

Not really that weird. I don't believe the Ray of Light has ever pointed any pirate directly to a barrel or crate for any quest (though I think it has pointed to bookcases, desks, etc for searching). I believe that ray of light is just guiding pirates to the right direction at the start of that quest. On the second day the quest was on Test, I was standing around all morning pointing people the right direction. People got really confused since you can't see the barrel from the spot the RoL lands.
