So that will be why it is implemented as a proper 3D polyhedron, rather
than a single face. I would guess the edges aren't needed, so perhaps a
pair of faces back to back would work.

try it out ...

intersection()

poly(circle());
translate([10, 0, 0]) poly(circle());

What happens if you try to do a 2D CSG op on a single face
polyhedron in preview?
