I've encountered the same problem when i try to split some polygons.

I don't really understand what was the problem, just some hint:

- it occours only on windows. The same shapefile works fine on Linux.
- it also affects qgis 2.14
- is not connected with topology error. The problem remain also after using
v.clean.

I hope this could be useful
