Boolean operations create new entities. Since you don't delete box2, you end up
with two (disjoint volumes): box2 and the result of the difference, "case". The
boundary operator works as expected.

Yes: the fragment operation results in two volumes that are "glued", i.e. they
share the internal surfaces. Hence CombinedBoundary behaves as expected.

Gmsh tries to reuse the same tag for top level (highest dimensional) entities
that are not modified. Here box2 will keep its tag, that you can use for the
physical.
Note that the API returns additional information on the parent/child
relationships: see
