Why can't EnergyPlus handle surfaces which contain a hole?

I understand that EnergyPlus can't model surfaces which contain a hole (as in this question), but I don't understand the reason behind it.

Can anyone explain what part of the EnergyPlus engine/calculation algorithm has difficulty with this kind of surface?
