It does work in most cases, but does not produce bounds that are as 
optimal as what a human looking at the involved shapes could come up 
with. The same goes for intersections...I think POV simply intersects 
the bounding boxes, which can result in very loose bounding. Your 
message implied that there was no bounding done at all.
