It is hard to tell what is going on from your description since you didn't indicate how measurements were being made. The only time I have seen something like this going back to breaker was when there were two separate breakers providing voltage to the box.
One way to find out is turn off all breakers and there should be no voltage to the fan box. Then turn breakers on, one at a time while monitoring the voltage at box (two people are helpful). If the breaker you think controls the box shows a voltage when turned on, turn it off and try the rest of the breakers to see if any of them provide voltage to the box.
If all breakers are off and you still have power in the box and you live in an apartment or duplex of some sort, maybe you are tied into a neighbor's power.
Only other answer is if power is coming from main and is un-switched. This would be very strange.

Will a breaker trip if it is being fed from the load side to energize the bus in the breaker panel?
A breaker should never be fed from its load side to energize the bus in the breaker distribution panel. This question suggests that you are trying to connect a generator to back feed your electrical panel during a power failure. This setup as killed linemen trying to repair the downed primary lines. If the panels main breaker is not opened, the generator will back feed the pole transformer that the linemen are working on and bring the line potential up to 14,000 volts. There are proper change over switches in the market now that will allow you to run your generator and the switch will automatically disconnect the utility connection before making the connection to the house panel. If this is your line of thought, do a bit of research on the subject. The last thing people in the trade want to hear is another lineman getting electrocuted. If the load exceeds the rating of the breaker and the breaker is functioning properly, it will trip.
What effect would occur if the intermediate switch were replaced by a double-pole switch?
This looks like a question that has come out of the middle of a conversation. Us poor guys trying to answer the question don't have any context. We don't know what the intermediate switch is; or anything else about the system. You can always use just one side of a two pole switch to replace a single pole switch.
If a light switch were wired wrong would it just not work?
Depending on how it is wrongly wired, it might appear to work or appear not to work. There is a severe risk of electrocution whenever switches are incorrectly wired. Get an expert to check it and rewire it properly. If this switch is not right, perhaps all the other circuits should be checked too! I remember my ex-husband "trying" to wire a new light switch in the bathroom. Thinking he knew what he was doing, he tried wiring it like you would a wall receptical. He routed the hot wire to one end of the switch, and the neutral to the other end. (shows how much he knew) When he turned the breaker on, and flipped the wall switch, WOW, you should of seen what it did. The wires literally jumped about 7 inches high near the junction box, there was a loud "thud" and the breaker naturally tripped. I tried to tell him that you actually split the hot wire that is coming from the breaker box to the light itself and put each an end on each side of the wall switch, and the neutral runs from the breaker to the light and doesn't go near the switch at all. I told him that it's not the same as a wall receptical, but dummy wouldn't listen.
