I think so. I've compared two world.dat's from a freshly created universe, once with Auto-Schedule ASG activated, once without, and there's only a single-byte difference so it doesn't look like any checksums etc. would be affected.

Completely agreed. This is a clear bug, though I still wonder about the exact circumstances it takes to bring it about. There's another thread from a week or two ago reporting the same issue where I tried to recreate the scenario and while I could get some surrounding effects (news still announced non-existent ASG, AI selected for unneeded ASG teams etc.), I was unable to get the lockup.
If you have any further bits of info about what exactly you did with those three leagues, I imagine it'll help in locating the gremlin. Some things that come to mind are: whether created in the pre-season or off-season of the parent league, how long did the leagues exist, and what was their exact alignment (two subleagues, 4x6 teams each?)... Maybe check out whether leagues of that alignment and level grab a schedule file from \schedules\ upon creation, or auto-generate a default schedule, as that might well have an effect on the ASG behaviour...
