Works for me. I assume you tried "Chop the path at its anchors" since you don't say otherwise. Will you please try again and tell exactly what you do.
The following is off-topic: That Lissajous figure seems to have two not so nice features, though neither causes error for me in chopping.
First, there are clusters of very close anchors. That is due to my amateurish algorithms. Applying the Simplify plugin before chopping seems to be good.
Second, the curve is double. The reason is those two sharp points at top right and bottom right, call them A and B. The curve starts at A, runs the whole long curve to B, there turns around, and runs the same way back to A. The reason why it is so is that a general Lissajous figure, when there is no damping, is a closed curve, and I made the plugin so that exactly one cycle is run. But then there are those special cases with two sharp points where one cycle makes a double curve. I didn't try to give them any special treatment.
Edit: With the Simplify plugin you may want to use a selection to restrict the action to the anchor clusters. Otherwise you may lose more anchors than you like.
