Construction Geometry not Acting Like Construction

Is it intended behavior that when I 'Use' as 'Construction', that the resulting geometry behaves like normal geometry? Extrudes for example, are confined by it. At first, I thought this was picking up the face of another hidden part. But transforming that part to move it out of the way before the extrude doesn't change the behavior.

Here is a project that demonstrates the issue: It's a box lid that should have a touching and attached lip. But the extrude going up is not connected to the lip because the construction geometry is acting like solid non-construction lines for the purpose of Extrusion 2.
Thanks in advance for any info on this.

If I understand correctly - I think the parts may not be merging due to a small gap that remains after that extrusion - see below
