Your additional surfaces (e.g. surface 26) are not topologically connected to the volumes: the quadrangles on the surfaces will thus be completely independent of the hexahedra in the volumes.

With recent nightly builds you could use "Coherence Mesh;" to glue the mesh back together after the fact, i.e., end your script with

Mesh 3;
Coherence Mesh;
Save "mymesh.msh";

Not super elegant, but that should do the trick...
