It works if you have Points (geometric entities) at the location of the 
intersection of the embedded lines with the surface contour. See the attached 
file.

In an ideal world gmsh would discover that these points need to be inserted 
into the line loop of the surface, before starting the meshing process.

Probably a point for a todo list...
