      I always though that, for an intersection to work, the cutting geometry must be in the context of the other object.

      It works if I make the small rectangle into a cube.

        Coplanar things only intersect if "intersect selected" is chosen. You cannot (obviously) select all inside the group context AND outside of it. Try with this file (created in version 6 where "auto intersect" was not introduced). Select all and perform an intersect with model. Nothing happens. Now select all and intersect with selected: it will intersect the two rectangles.
