Maybe you are falling on a bug already reported 3 time this week :)

Could you try calling 
`CGAL::Polygon_mesh_processing::remove_isolated_vertices(to_be_cut)` ?

https://doc.cgal.org/latest/Polygon_mesh_processing/group__PMP__repairing__grp.html#ga91c02ef57e638faf2622eae93e7a25e2

It will remove isolated vertices that 
facets_in_complex_2_to_triangle_mesh should not create.

A "true" fix is already on its way:
https://github.com/CGAL/cgal/pull/4990

Best regards,

Sebastien.
