I think wet etching is remarkably difficult in this case, as you are not
really talking about mask stripping. What is happening, in my opinion,
is simply that the HF etches the glass away, that was bound to the mask.
Improving mask adhesion will not help in this case. Also, HF has a
remarkable ability to get into small crevices - which is why you have to
clean the oxide away before depositing your masking material, even when
etching Si wafers. This is at least my experience. I'm guessing it is
because of the large diffusivity of HF, but I have no theoretical
background to back that up.
