I don't follow the gory details but isn't this because you edited the 
cards in mythtv-setup ?

That's a 'known' issue, although I don't recall seeing a ticket for it.

Edits lead to a corrupted database and standard advice is to always 
"Delete All Cards on All Hosts" and start afresh. Can you still crash it 
that way ?

AFAIK it's never been fixed because;
1. Few people understand that area
2. The UI settings are due to be replaced by the 
origin/devel/mythui/settings at some point. Maybe that will fix edits.
3. mythtv-setup was planned to be replaced by "some other solution" 
years ago...
