Funny, I modified the function shortly after my first post and it worked:

#macro fnChamfer(sx,sy,sz,c)
max(abs(x)-sx,abs(y)-sy,abs(z)-sz,abs(x)+abs(y)-sx-sy+c,abs(x)+abs(z)-sx-sz+
c,abs(y)+abs(z)-sy-sz+c) #end

#declare lBrick = isosurface {
 function { fnChamfer(lbSiz.x*.5,lbSiz.y*.5,lbSiz.z*.5,lbCut) +
fnpCut(x,y,z)*lbCut*.2 }
 max_gradient 10
 accuracy 0.005
 contained_by { box { -lbSiz*.5, lbSiz*.5 } }
}

It's anything but efficient, but it proved your point.
