    If you reduce the radius of fillet 6 so that it doesn't spill over the edge of the part (say .2 instead of .25), everything behaves much better.

    I was able to fix the part in multiple ways, but the fact still stands that simply trying to add a fillet caused an entire face of a solid to disappear. should I just report this?

    It’s definitely worth reporting, but I suspect it’s a Parasolid bug. Solidworks does similar things when the geometry has a twitchy topology issue like that.

    I concur: NX (built by siemens, that owns Parasolid kernel) also does this sometimes.
