Clipping Section buggy at large scales

I’m getting a problem with an architectural site survey, created at actual size in mm. When I create a ClippingSection, my objects display as open/hollow (no face is created at the section). My objects are closed polysurfaces (extruded patch surfaces). When I make a simple box in the file it clips fine.

I don’t seem to have the same problem if I scale the model down, say by 1000. Ideally I want to work at 1:1 scale though.

If I raise the model units absolute tolerance significantly I the problem goes away.
