While it would seem like you end up with double the mass but right area, it seems EnergyPlus may address this internally. I confirmed with Brent that this is the correct approach.

Research direction

Start by tracing the ForwardTranslation path that exports internal mass objects, using the issue's forum reference and the confirmed area-handling behavior as context. The work is done when the exported internal mass has double the area and the resulting EnergyPlus simulation no longer produces the reported bad results.
