You'll need to split the curve. Gmsh can do this for you:

SetFactory("OpenCASCADE");
Box(1) = {0, 0, 0, 15, 15, 15};
Extrude {7, 0, 0} {
  Surface{2};
}
Line(21) = {2, 11};
BooleanFragments{ Curve{21}; Delete; }{ Volume{1,2}; Delete; }

Moreover, BooleanFragments will embed the 2 curves automatically, so you don't 
have to do it explicitly.

(The crash is also fixed in the Git version and the previous geometry will now 
just lead to an error.)
