Here's a fairly decent test case.

I have a PR 5 linking to two sites that were created and juiced at the same time (some years ago).

The recipient home page PR is thus: 4 and 3.

The recipients each have one IBL of note.

One site has a single OBL (no rel=nofollow) and one site has no OBLs.

The one with the OBL is the 3, no OBL is the 4.

It's not quite a perfect test, but it is indicative if not the last word on the matter.
That's a little strange. As the links should affect the sites being linked to and not the sites sending the links.

I wonder if the position of the links on the PR5 site could be affecting the amount of PR being sent?
