Curiouser and curiouser, I was able to get the correct CSG shape (almost) by
changing the Cylinder_Y to:

 quadric
  {<1, 0, 1>,
   <0, 0.000000001, 0>, // one billionth
   <0, 0, 0>, -1
  }

Not perfect because of a slight xz offset, which can be seen when enclosing it
with semi-transparent cylinders with the same size.

Not only that, this causes Bald Eagle's bounding macro to go wild, reporting the
dimensions to be 10 billion in every direction from <0,0,0>.

Seems like a precision problem, but I wouldn't know so thought I would mention
this here in case it means something.
