Box moves 1 inch and the portal poofs due to an unstable surface.

This always bothers me when people argue what would happen if you pushed Portal portals into each other. You can't. The moment the surface moves, it's unstable and the portal pops. They're quite specific about this in the games.

In this case, the portals are only moving in planes parallel to each other, so there is no stability introduced.
