I think you'll find that most air will still flow over the car. Take this spoiler for example, it isn't flush, but it redirects air such that drag is supposedly reduced. If the back of the boattail is sealed, then very little air should get in, and even if it isn't I doubt there would be very much lift. For example, airfoils result in lift because the area on the top is greater than the area on the bottom with the same approximate air speed, but in this case, there won't be very much air flowing through the opening, and the area on the top and bottom will be the same. YMMV. ;)

that is why wagons and hatchbacks are better than sedans and coupes.
