Recently, I attempted to see what sort of mega events were triggered by my playstyle and used cheats to summon mega events in my ongoing TOA and DA games (without saving, of course). The mega events seem to come in a certain order, and the Dread Lords are one of the first, so it didn't take me long to realize that, despite what I'd heard about the last update fixing this, the Dread Lords event is seriously bugged.
On one of my two ongoing TOA games, the event caused a CTD when I hit the turn button after receiving the message. Examining their homeworld revealed that it was orbited by a 'nonexistent' ship - no name and no icon. Attempts to select the ship also triggered a CTD.
On the other game, the event did not caused a CTD and their homeworld was orbited by a normal DL scout. However, despite being displayed on the map as a PQ 13 planet, placing a spy on the DL homeworld indicated it had only three usable tiles - clearly making them even less of a threat then they'd been in the underwhelming DA version of the Dread Lords Event.
All DA mega events worked fine.
The debug.err from the second game (with the class "3" planet) is below.

The long section of first contacts was triggered when I used the cheat that removes fog of war to make sure the DL homeworld did not have the crash-causing nonexistent ship.
Edit: After playing along a little, it looks like the second problem was only a graphical bug, as the DLs churned out a frigate with 299 beam attack within three weeks, suggesting that they had a little more then just three tiles. Another spy indicated that they now had the normal amount of tiles.
Both games had virtually identical settings and were around the same time (late 2229). The only major difference is that in the second game, where the event wasn't bugged, I had Ascension Victory enabled while in the first I had it turned off. Also, the DL homeworld in the case where it was bugged was an incredible PQ 39, while in the second it was, as I said, PQ 13.
