Planes divide space such that everything "below" the plane is considered
solid.  This is explained in the manual.

That do not explain why the intersection of the plane parallel to the 
screen and the plan at the bottom left is not a line on the picture.

How can I then show the image exposing the bug ?
Put is on my web page ?

Please read

Newsgroups: povray.announce.frequently-asked-questions
Message-ID: <3D4C20DA.40C33E49@pacbell.net>

Subject: Welcome To The POV-Ray News Groups
Xref: news.povray.org povray.announce.frequently-asked-questions:53

and when you find the time, also read all the other messages in that group.

In short, you should post it in povray.binaries.images (aka p.b.i) and then
post in whatever group your discussion belongs to (povray.general is fine)
and refer to that image.  So all you need to do is post the image in p.b.i .
Please note that is its recommended to use JPEG, also PNG is fine if it is
small and really needed to show the problem (i.e. if JPEG compression causes
loss of important detail).

There does not seem to be anything wrong with the render result of this 
scene.  I am not sure what you think is wrong about it though.  Maybe 
you should try to really post a minimal scene showing the problem and 
point out what exactly you think is wrong about it.
