Hi Dan, ok I assume that you're using v2 since when I test in v2 I can see the failure. In v3 it works as it is supposed to though.

So you're running into some bug in geometry handling that's been fixed since v2 was released. There's been a pretty long period of development since v2 was released, there is about 2 and a half years worth of various bug fixes in v3 so it's generally better to use v3 for your work. You can get the current v3 beta here: http://moi3d.com/beta.htm

It's probably caused by a bug that would occasionally incorrectly calculate which side of a solid was the outside region of it. If you select the lofted solid in v2 that doesn't work as a cutter and use Edit > Separate on it followed by Edit > Join that gets its orientation fixed up after that so that it will then boolean out ok. But it's really better to just use v3 instead where it works ok right from the start.
