  I already explained the most probable reason.
  The contained_by object is not an object at all. It's just a set of limits
for the isosurface calculation function. Thus you can't transform it as if
it was a regular primitive (because it isn't).
  The syntax for the contained_by object is the same as for a sphere or a
box, but only for convenience.
