You sure? Can't get on GW's website to check in the Tau FAQ
But from all the battle reports and rules discussions i have seen they cause grounding tests as it is a hit, doesn't matter if it causes damage or not, as you see below-
Edit - tell a lie, i have the Tau FAQ on my phone, nothing about markerlights not causing grounding tests.

Quote:Grounded Test:
If a Flying Monstrous Creature that is Swooping suffers one or more hits from a unit's Shooting attack, must take a Grounded test immediately after the Shooting attack has been resolved.
