Using api_check_entity to detect erroneously large box

I'm trying to use api_check_entity to detect a case where the user is trying to create a box that is too big for ACIS (say 1e10x1e10x1e10).  The box is created with api_solid_block.  If i call api_check_entity immediately after api_solid_block I can detect this.

 

However, I'd like to call api_solid_block later in my code (after a call to api_change_body_trans) and if I do so, api_check_entity no longer reports the problem. 

 

I'm mainly looking for a justifcation for this.

 

Thanks.
