Another possibility is that the normals are pointing in opposite directions in the adjacent faces you're trying to split on...
...just guessing...

*edit*
If you turn on backface culling you're gonna see only the "normal" sides of the faces...

i ran into it today when modelling a house, basically, ur trying to split an object that has already been split so many times in different places. like with a cube, if you want to have 2 faces being made from one original face, then you would normally make one split right? but playing it safe you should split all the way around the cube in the same direction, that way u can avoid problems like this one where you've got unfinished splits as it were
thats my problem anyway
try not to split in unnessecary places, and when you do, makes sure its the split starts, goes all the way around and comes back to the starting point
that was very hard to explain :S
