Since this is report in modifier, think its reasonable report narrows the problem down to test file that doesn't depend on 3rd party add-ons.

Well, narrowed down a bit.

Mesh was created via bmesh, setting vertex, faces, material index, and uvs.
Setup boolean structure and parenting as you may find in file.

  • AutoBoolean does barely nothing, only update to same values allready set hide_select, hide_render, lock all transforms and cycles visibility related params.
  • Parent-child relationship, boolean modifiers and modifier.objects untouched.

Seem this is enougth to trigger (mess) update of normals in parent objects of holes.

Workaround :

  • call bm.update_normals() at mesh creation time.

using auto_smooth only hide the bug, but uncheck does show black objects.
