Similar situation happens with RHEL7, though the effect is not directly visible ('systemctl stop iptables' doesn't print anything), yet unit log shows the problem:

Sep 21 12:31:09 vrhel7 iptables.init[30003]: restorecon is /sbin/restorecon
Sep 21 12:31:09 vrhel7 iptables.init[30003]: iptables: Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: security filter nat [FAILED]
Sep 21 12:31:09 vrhel7 iptables.init[30003]: iptables: Flushing firewall rules: [  OK  ]
Sep 21 12:31:09 vrhel7 iptables.init[30003]: iptables: Unloading modules: [  OK  ]
Sep 21 12:31:09 vrhel7 systemd[1]: Stopped IPv4 firewall with iptables.
