Comment (by cfarmer):

 Replying to [ticket:2092 marisn]:

 All fTools functions should use the input dataset CRS for all output
 datasets. However, this means that, for example, shapefiles with no .prj
 file will automatically default to the project default CRS (often WGS84).
 In other words, the fTools functions ignore any manually specified CRS
 info. Is it possible that this is the cause for the misspecified
 shapefile? 'On the fly' option should *not* affect any fTools functions...
