If it gets to 50% placement with 2 player races, that would be immediately after (or possibly during) placement of player 1. So, given that you found the error in techarea.txt, it's possible that the game engine checks tech areas during (at the end of?) each player's placement phase. Which makes a certain amount of sense, as races need to pick up their racial techs & the game may need to place racial facilities in high-tech start games...
