Not necessarily. Seems that aura'd items do have a degree of aura. If you keep detect aura up a lot, you should notice some lighties equipped with dark pieces. Like the hematite rings/bracelets, I believe lighties can use them, for example. Would need to confirm that though... don't currently have any lighties
You are correct. It isn't the aura that determines whether or not it will zap someone of a different aura. It is whether or not the item has the zap flag AND aura that determines it. I had a lightie that tried to pick up a gray aura'd item, but got zapped because it had the zap flag AND it was gray aura'd, not just because it was gray aura'd.
P.S. Fading an item, iirc, actually removes the zap flag.
