I am having issues in the following code. The cylinder segment boxes 
appear to be clipped and hollow, but I'm not actually using `clipped_by` 
anywhere. Does anyone have a clue what is happening? Thanks.

Better if I should attach the whole scene, no?

You're running into a coincident surface issue when Muns_time_wipe is 1. 
At this value, you're essentially intersecting a plane with a copy of 
that plane, which makes things wobbly.

That worked! Thanks!

Performance is really poor in this scene. Each 600x600px frame of my 
test animation takes about 5 minutes to render on my machine. I am doing 
120 frames. I guess I need to add some `bounded_by` statements in there 
somewhere...

In this case, you have a difference of cylinders intersected by some 
planes. Each block may end up with a bounding box large enough to 
contain the whole outer cylinder. This is a case where manually bounding 
with a tight box or a sphere can help.

Do a test with only a small subset of the blocks, using only the 
difference and intersection, where each part is paired with a box made 
from the max_extent() and min_extent() for that block.
If there is much unused space, then, you may try using some manual bounding.

This may be your critical part :
intersection{
	plane {+x, -Muns_gap_width rotate +y * Muns_slice_angle/2}
	plane {-x, -Muns_gap_width rotate -y * Muns_slice_angle/2}
	difference{
		cylinder{-y*(1/2 -Muns_gap_width),+y*(1/2-Muns_gap_width),Muns_param_C 
+ (1/2 - Muns_gap_width)}
		cylinder{-y*(1/2),+y*(1/2),Muns_param_C -(1/2 -Muns_gap_width)}
		}
	translate	+y * Muns_param_V
	rotate		+y * Muns_param_h
	}

Yes, I added bounding boxes and performance is very good now. Less than 
10 seconds per frame.
