I know it _should_ and it works in some cases, but it doesn't always
work. The old trick used was to clip the HF with an open cylinder and
union it with the cylinder clipped by the HF. However, there's no open
box except for an open prism, and that produced artifacts that sturm
didn't fix. It didn't work with clipping or intersecting it with a
regular box either, nor with a semi-open box clipped by a plane.

Do you really think I am _that_ new to POV? :)

It just occurred to me I didn't try intersecting it with a mesh box.
Back to the drawing table.
