We consider the energy flow into gaps between hard jets. It was previously believed that the accuracy of resummed predictions for such observables can be improved by employing the $k_t$ clustering procedure to define the gap energy in terms of a sum of energies of soft jets (rather than individual hadrons) in the gap. This significantly reduces the sensitivity to correlated soft large-angle radiation (non-global leading logs), numerically calculable only in the large $N_c$ limit. While this is the case, as we demonstrate here, the use of $k_t$ clustering spoils the straightforward single-gluon Sudakov exponentiation that multiplies the non-global resummation. We carry out an ${\mathcal{O}}(\alpha_s^2)$ calculation of the leading single-logarithmic terms and identify the piece that is omitted by straightforward exponentiation. We compare our results with the full ${\mathcal{O}} (\alpha_s^2)$ result from the program EVENT2 to confirm our conclusions. For $e^{+}e^{-} \to 2$ jets and DIS (1+1) jets one can numerically resum these additional contributions as we show, but for dijet photoproduction and hadron-hadron processes further studies are needed.
