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

[knower-to-be]

To Reproduce

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)

Backtrace

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

What I have tried as a workaround to this error

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 resulting model is exactly the same, as the expected result from the first code block, but upside down.
As a result, I do not understand by the first code does not work

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)
