Same problem for me using Spring Boot v1.3.8 and Liquibase v3.5.3.
I downgraded to Liquibase 3.4.2 and everything works.

My changes are inside core.jar and I run application.jar

application.jar ├── lib │ ├── core.jar │ │ ├── liquibase │ │ │ ├── changes

@Einar - reading both of your linked issues, it certainly looks like they all have the same cause.

I believe this is the same bug as https://liquibase.jira.com/browse/CORE-2863#icft=CORE-2863 and CORE-2876. See my comment on the former issue for more details.
