Not sure what you mean by
loaded with minors. Did every MLB team have an affiliate, but only some of the minor-league teams had players? Not sure if this speaks directly to what you experienced, but I have no idea how this experiment affects first-year player imports. For example, the 1922 Sacramento Solons were unaffiliated. In a non-test league, first-year players that were on the Solons in real life would import to Sacramento. In the test, 1922 Sacramento is affiliated with Brooklyn. I don't know if the 1922 Solons players will a) import to Sacramento, b) import to the Brooklyn organization, c) import as free agents, or d) not import at all. Spritze or some other tinkerer may know, but the best way might be to run a control test - using original files - and document the 1922 Solons players. Then run the test with the tinkered-with csv's and see where those same players end up.

By adding minor-league teams you might've "broken" the connection for OOTP to use historical minors. Not sure though.

Nope, any changes you make - such as adding minor-league teams or leagues or changing/adding affiliations - wouldn't show up in the csv file. OOTP pulls data from the csv files, but doesn't push data to them. AFAIK.

These affiliations that you setup within OOTP - rather than OOTP having read them from the csv file - would remain in place until you change them. Pretty sure, anyway.
