NO! IBL probes do not stay locked with the "light position". The position of the IBL light (as if it were a spotlight) is not relevant - moving the light widget around does not move or rotate the IBL light projection at all.

I've seen a few posts recently where somebody talked about positioning the IBL light widget like that matters. If you move the light widget to front, back, side, whatever, it doesn't matter - it has nothing to do with where the light comes from.

That much  I assumed, however i noticed that when playing with the intensity setttings  of "Preview" vs  IBL light  in the lower portion of that light's parameters panel,  it would seem  they throw the material node intensity settings out the window -
I am  trying to turn preview intensity down on the light designated for IBL, but it seems to throw the intensity of on the rendered IBL.
