Indeed. With OpenCASCADE all operations actually create new shapes; for
transformations we try to re-bind the new shapes to the old tags when possible
- it's not the case here since the old shapes are still used in the volume.

That's a limitation of the way we currently perform the transformation
operations (we do it "shape by shape") : this creates duplicate entities (here
lines) on the boundaries. Currently you'll need to apply
BooleanFragments{ Surface{1:6}; Delete; }
to get rid of them. Then you'll be able to define a closed volume.
