Floating Point Overflow - "Failed to Boolean bodies together" - please help

Surprizingly I cant find anyone else with this error message.

Simple enough operation, boolean cut of the shape of my GoPro from the fuselage of my plane design.

 

I got to this position by tweaking something earlier in the history, and a boolean that worked fine before will now not work.

Ive tried many ways to fix the geometry but cannot find anything wrong, except a couple of warnings where I converted projected shape into a sketch.

 

Im really stuck.  Any suggestions?  Cant share the file publicly.

More info:
I isolated the probleem by splitting up my GoPro model, and the bolt hole subpart is guilty.  Not sure why yet, but I do see strange non symmetric constraints in the sketch that defines it.

When I extrude it, the result will not boolean with main body shape. Not sure if the restraints are a cause, or what it might be.

Okay Ive uploaded the problem.

I also redrew the sketch and extruded again and its all fixed.

But this is a workaround and not an ideal solution to a problem that arose after having worked when I changed something unrelated in the history.

If you want help, you need to share your model.

I'm getting this error as well while trying to do chamfers. 
I've got a simple body which I've used the split face command to get some shapes on the face wich I've then used press pull to extrude. When trying to chamfer those I get the same error very random.

If I try with another line which works and then try with one that doesnt later it suddenly works out.

@Anonymous Chamfer is really not the right tool do do this. You should use the draft tool.

Draft didnt work either...fillet did work though, and I'm kind of in a pretty tight spot now so it have to do it for now...

Update - I'm looking into the floating point overflow reported by @simon.dyer (ASM-5935 for reference).

@Anonymous Have you tried the move\copy tool, select the face then use the rotate option.
