Creating a shell out of a tapered box causes an "BRep_Tool:: no parameter on edge" error

Problem Statement

I am trying to make a box with tapered walls using the following code, however I get an error OCP.Standard.Standard_NoSuchObject: BRep_Tool:: no parameter on edge.

import cadquery as cq

result = (
    cq.Workplane('XY')
    .rect(10, 10)
    .extrude(10, taper=-10.0)
    .faces(">Z")
    .shell(-0.5)
)
cq.exporters.export(result, 'issue.stl')
show_object(result)


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "issue.py", line 8, in <module>
    .shell(-0.5)
     ^^^^^^^^^^^
  File ".venv\Lib\site-packages\cadquery\cq.py", line 1276, in shell
    s = solidRef.shell(faces, thickness, kind=kind)

    shell_builder.MakeThickSolidByJoin(
OCP.Standard.Standard_NoSuchObject: BRep_Tool:: no parameter on edge

Strangely, no such error occurs when I change the taper from -10deg to +10deg and select the bottom face instead of the top face. The model renders normally and it is exactly the same, as the expected result from the first example, but upside down.

import cadquery as cq

result = (
    cq.Workplane('XY')
    .rect(10, 10)
    .extrude(10, taper=10.0)
    .faces("<Z")
    .shell(-0.5)
)
cq.exporters.export(result, 'issue.stl')
show_object(result)

I am not sure why the negative taper is causing the issue. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Python libraries
python==3.11.7
cadquery==2.4.0
cadquery-ocp==7.7.2
numpy==1.23.5 (not using numpy 2.1.1 because of currently unresolved issue #442)
