I've done a number in my house - at least two dozen.
Go get a diamond coated grout removal blade like this, but I use the True Value hardware store brand (Master Mechanic, I think) for about $10 bucks. Use the grout blade to grind out the box outline, then pop it out with a putty knife or painter's tool. Then switch to a wood saw blade for the wood lath. The less you grind on the wood, the longer the blade will last. I am on my second grout blade - and the first wasn't diamond coated.
I keep a shopvac hose where I am cutting, but that's up to you. Dust is created, but it isn't really thrown about like a circular saw.
When cutting the wood lath - I make the horizontal cuts first., Then when cutting vertically, if you cut all the way through a piece of lath on one side, it will want to vibrate and be tough to cut on the other side. So make a half cut, leaving a bit of material to keep it from vibrating, and go back and do the other.
