Andrew,
The problem actually seems to come from the way you define the surface: can you
regenerate your geometry script after
- removing all the zero-area line loops (e.g. "Line Loop(6) = {5, -5};")
- removing these loops from the definition of the main surface (i.e. simply
have "Plane Surface(1) = {205};")
With this you should not have duplicate vertices anymore, which should make
"Coherence Mesh" unnecessary.
Let us know,
Christophe
