How many times did you run the game successfully after disabling the trigger? If you did it a lot of times, it's more likely that there's something bad with them AND some other unknown one(s).

I've run the game successfully five times in a row with all triggers disabled, which is why I think it's a trait trigger thing in the first place. But if you use the 100%-EDCT in the file I posted you should get more consistent behaviour.
