Going around the cube this way:
You have a continuous face loop, regardless of its ngon status, because the connecting faces just have one edge between them.
If we "unwrapped" the shape in the direction you're cutting it would look like this (I've only shown three sides)
If we went the other direction it would look something like this, with a couple extra verts:
And this is no longer a continuous face loop. The loop cut operation will stop when it can no longer find a definite way to travel down the next face.
Looking at all the edges this cut could decide to go to:
I would say as human onlookers it's pretty clear where it should go, but programmatically (for the general case) it's probably a hard problem to solve. The operation just stops when it can't find the next face in the loop.
