The stale turns could be the result of someone accidentally inspecting another players turn (use passwords to avoid this) or a player inspecting his turn a second time and hosting kicks in while he is changing it.

It doesn't look this way. Here's what I've observed. To make it clear further, when I'm saying that the turn have not been done, I don't refer to the "stale turn", but to the indicator in the connect screen that displays that your nation has not done current turn yet.
I've completed a turn and most players have already done their too. There was around 4 hours until the next hosting. I've connected couple of hours later and saw that the turn number has increased by one and most of players (including myself) have not done their turns (meaning their current turns), results of the turn reflected what I was expected, so I did the next turn. That was in the evening. In the morning the turn number has increased again and it was showing that I needed to do a turn. Results of the previous turn matched what I did (well, plus/minus PRNG issues), so I did yet another turn. So I've seen 2 hostings in about 10 hours (and I got 2 turn results) and I've also seen the connect screen displaying 2 hours until hosting while 80% of nation didn't have their turns submitted yet.
I hope this information may help.
Alex.
