My previous updates used only pads to start filling, but my last update 
look for a pad, a via or a track end point inside the zone outline to 
start filling.
(a track crossing the area without any end point inside this area is not 
view).
All items found are used to start filling.
I tested it with a zone without pad but a through via or a micro via or 
a track end within the area and it works for me.

So, if you have vias (or track end points) inside the defined copper 
area i do not understand what happens.
If the problem persists, can you send me your board ?
