Doesn't what?

Doesn't have an inside_vector?
In that case the mesh is defined to have no inside, giving unexpected
results in any non-union CSG (including, but not limited to, all other
participating objects becoming entirely invisible).

Isn't a closed volume?
In that case you may get artifacts if you use it in any non-union CSG
(surfaces of the other participating objects being visible or invisible
at the wrong places).
