OK, thanks John. This doesn't entirely answer the question. What is the real
difference? Isn't BRF output for a text device?
The reason, or one of the reasons, is that our boxline style is working in UTD
and for output to a text device but not for output to BRF, which is what is
used in the Braille Preview pane.

formatFor textDevice produces output for embossing or reading on a Braille
display directly. formatFor brf first produces UTDML then uses this to produce
Braille which may contain tactile graphics. The graphics are not yet
implemented in utd.
