And no, it's not a BFC issue; all I have to do is change the color to 16 and it shows the surface again.

LDView only supports ASCII STL, and ASCII STL doesn't support colors. So LDView should totally ignore all color information in the LDraw file when exporting to STL. At a given level in the LDraw file hierarchy, the colored shapes get exported after the non-colored (color 16) ones, but other than that, there should be no difference in how they are treated. If you send me the original LDraw file and the generated STL file, I can investigate.
