When importing an alembic skeletal mesh with an animation that changes the overall form of the object rather drastically it will be lit as if at the end of the animation. To view this you need to have the asset present in the level and have it set use an animation asset for its animation mode.
RESULT
The plane above the sphere has shadows and dark areas on it despite being flat
EXPECTED
The plane is lit correctly
