Bad geometry?

Who is D Moore and can I please smack him :)
Why is a brush with 3 faces illegal (Bad windings). I need to have a bevel on a face but every time I create a bevel I get a bad windings warning. I have also tried to do a 3 faced brush and glue this to a rectangular block for the same effect but I always get that error!
It seems DIF cannot handle this or am I missing something simple?

See, when you kill faces of a brush so that they're not complete, it will create a broken brush.
Here's a regular brush:
I killed the East face and it makes a broken brush:
Is there a way that you could create your geometry out of brushes or otherwise use a DTS shape?

Here we have a bevelled brush that is going to be a bed. I need 2 more bevelled pieces to make up the fold of the blanket and the pillow. Here is one and it compiles fine:-
When i create a second bevelled face either by duplicating the bed or making a new one, it errors. If i delete the new one it compiles fine. I have duplicated, drawn from scratch, glued, tagged and all manner of things, but when I try to have more than one it errors.
I just made a rectangular brush, move the 3 nodes in by 4 and hey presto, wierdness!

Ok this is a confirmed problem. I sent a simple file to my friend who couldn't convert it to DIF either. Here we have a bevelled brush that is going to be a bed. I need 2 more bevelled pieces to make up the fold of the blanket and the pillow. Here is one and it compiles fine:-
