Nice try, but in one of the Pocket Books novels, the energy barrier was
explained away as the leading edge of a supernova shockwave.

Since CVE's affect time travel much more than travel through normal space,
it's possible that no Federation ship has ever encountered one, but an
encounter with a CVE could explain the disappearance of any ships lost
without trace.

I suspect that even near proximity to a CVE would play hell with warp
engines.
