CTD with empire_east_rebel revolts

I'm going to have to admit that this one is getting the better of me. My EERs are playable and the shadow relationship is set up with the EE as per vanilla.

When a EER settlement gets to the point of revolt the game will usually have it do so, but every now and again such an imminent revolt will lead to an immediate CTD on pressing the end-of-turn button.

The CTD is not connected to the settlement, or the settlement alone, as the same settlement sometimes causes a CTD and other times it does not.

It is a modded build and the vanilla EDU/DMB files, when inserted, seem to make the CTD go away. I've checked textures (though I do not enter the battle map)) and models and EDU ownerships (inc. slave) and rebel files.

I'm thinking: what could be missing or in error (likely the former) from the DMB or EDU file that woudl causes this to happen tothis faction and no other?

Any ideas anyone?

Off the top of my head: Unit ownership could maybe cause this when a unit that is owned by the core faction would join the rebels.

All vanilla units have been deleted, stripped to a clean build. the western peasant saxon unit entry (using western peasant model) is serving as the only unit in-game - acting as mercs, peasants for all factions, and general_unit.

Ownership exists for both these factions.

It is very perplexing. If there was something wrong with EDU/DMB it should register straight away - why on *some* empire-east-rebel settlement revolt?

Hmm did you change the rebel armies accordingly?

Yes, all rebels are the same unit - anyway, such issues would cause a CTD in more broad circumstances than I have mentioned.

I have 2 supposedly identical builds where a discrepancy must have slipped in - this could be the only explanation as to why one works with the vanilla EDU/DMB and the other does not (it works with modded DMB/EDU) (the latter was working until recently).

OK, the EDU and DMB code for the (almost) universal placeholder unit in a clean build...why would empire_east_rebels cause a CTD seemingly around *some* of their revolts?

The problem is certainly here somewhere but I cannot see it. Everything else has been eliminated...
