For pure blackbody radiation, P=aT4/3 depends only on temperature. Constant pressure therefore fixes temperature, so a usual finite constant-pressure temperature derivative is unavailable. In the material gas-radiation limit the specific-heat ratio diverges, although all three stellar adiabatic exponents approach 4/3. The radiation index 4/3 is an adiabatic pressure-volume response, not a finite heat-capacity ratio.
