Strange, though, is one thing: the mothers have only leadership 10, therefore the majority of the spawns should end up elsewhere, but maybe there's a bug involved ... .

Yep I think this must be it. It spawns all those troops but they cannot go anywhere. Then it probably just starves its capitol to death and cannot produce anything other than auto spawns. I definitely do think there is a bug somewhere here as I have seen this same situation before with EA Rlyeh many times...
