I have observed a similar behavior on Linux when I tried to place a via using the Via tool. The existing track was on the In1.Cu layer. I suspected placing the via at that spot might be triggering a DRC violation, so I moved the end of the existing track away from the other tracks and I was able to place the via.

I've also had a problem where I'd dragged two existing tracks on different layers (In1.Cu and Bot.Cu) to where their ends overlapped. Pcbnew displayed a helpful "X" which went away when I placed a via there with the Via tool, but dragging the via caused only one track to move. I don't remember exactly what I did to resolve the issue (removing and replacing the via? moving one of the track ends?).
