YG sent some interesting material to me on this a while back. It basically biols down to the skinnier and longer the face being intersected, the less likely it is to work. Sometimes the tesselations work, sometimes not. There are others who are more fluent at describing what steps can be done to get around this flaw, but I reccomend trying to use booleans as little as possible until r5 comes out. Booleans in 3DS are, thus far, inhernetly limited. It's one of the greatest weaknesses of the program. R5 SHOULD be better, however, with as many people screaming to correct this as there have been.
