The problem is, the pipe models have phong shading, and the Source engine can't render vertex lighting and phong shading on the same prop so it disables the former. It's unfortunate, because pipes are one of the most common props to have shadows conspicuously overlapping. I'm not seeing the issue JeanPaul is reporting in any of the screenshots, but you might be able to fix it by tossing in an info_lighting and tying the offending pipes to it.
