I have tried that, Kamog. It generally locks up during the turn processing, when i have multiple human controlled empires. I've never actually gotten a game to run long enough to get an alliance.

I even tried your trick with turning a AI race into human controlled, and I proposed an alliance to it then. The game locked up during processing on the very turn the aliance was being accepted. I think theres something bugged about hotseat in the demo.

i'll keep trying various ways, though.

edit: confirmed. it locks up during turn processing, every time an alliance is accepted. its not just a random bug with hotseat play.
