Just an update on this:
The transaction is actually partially signed, but it isn't very obvious that it is with the errors showing up in the output. There isn't actually any issue here except that it looks scarier than before.

Does this mean nobody used signrawtransaction to sign multisigs like this for 18 months?
I don't think people use Core for Multisig. There are much better software for multisig.

Great! Thanks for checking that. I submitted an issue for it on github: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/9988 so that we can figure out how to fix it. The easiest solution would be to remove the VerifyScript call, but that may not be desirable.

I tried it on 0.10.3 and it works
signing with other key
So looks something changed in the meantime. I can try with other versions a bit later (with ones that still have the binaries uploaded)

It still returns the partially signed transaction, but doesn't put a 0x00 in place of the missing signature, so checkmultisig fails.
Adding the 0x00 will return a better error..
*edit: forgot to add the better output

Well that's interesting and probably a bug. It looks like this happens because the script is verified after signing, and a partially signed script is not valid.
Edit: Can you try this with older versions of Core, particularly 0.11.x and 0.10.x? The change to verify scripts was first introduced in 0.11.0, so I want to see if that is what's causing the issue.

I've been trying to spend from a 2of3 multisig address, using the same procedure as from this gist: https://gist.github.com/gavinandresen/3966071
When trying to sign I get the "error": "Operation not valid with the current stack size"
What's really strange is I did this exact procedure some time in October 2015 and it worked. I must've been using a version of core around 0.10.2 or 0.11.0. If nobody has any idea I can try downgrading to one of those versions and seeing if it works.
Here's what I did:
Generated 3 keypairs (privkey, pubkey and address)
Create 2of3 multisig address
Import address and fund it
Create spending tx, sending to mqZa1zbDg5RHVYbX6ea1QxPuuxAyuGVSoK
Sign with the first privkey
As far as I can tell, everything is done in exactly the same was as in Gavin's gist from 2012, and I did this procedure in October 2015 and it worked.
