Mostly it doesn't matter as the normal maps get compressed in the game anyway, but if you're doing...

If the render output was at gamma 2.2 then yeah, but otherwise it should be fine with them both being 1.

I imagine - internally - it's broken down into submeshes - one for each material.

So it'll have to render each submesh as if it were a separate object.

For the diffuse coefficient render output, set it's gamma to 1.

Ensure your materials are set to 100% diffuse amount (defaults to 80%). That could be what's washing it out.
