Aha!

When a civilization runs out of names in their nation ruleset, the ascii 
handling of backup rulesets isn't so good.  The crash is caused because 
the AI civ (which has no conn) is trying to use a non-ascii name from a 
nation other than its own, because it has run out of nation names.  The 
AI should be allowed to do this - it's probably the cause of the "can't 
build city" errors people have been reporting.
