Symmetry planes with radiation in participating media

I have an optically thin glass melt that has a number of symmetry planes to it. Using only heat transfer by conduction a thermally insulated layer gives the apparently correct temperature profile (for the wrong physics). If I then set the symmetry plane surface to opaque with an emissivity of 0 and turn radiation in participating media back on I get thermal gradients that make the model look like I'm exhausting a lot of heat to the symmetry planes. How should I set these boundaries?
