Many of the plot holes I've heard talked about didn't have any volume to speak of--they simply led from one place to another, connecting those two places without actually creating any extra space for the plothole itself.

It could be that plot holes which "contain" things may simply be plot holes that link to a space that does contain those things (and which may or may not be created along with the plot hole). There's lots of precedent for various places and objects being created out of nothing; a plot hole leading to a space that's been created by a fic probably wouldn't be out of the realm of the possible.

So plot holes may not be "holes" like the kind you might dig in the ground at all; they may be more like portals.
