Unusual ground combat glitch in Demo V1.08

I have experienced an unusual ground combat glitch in Demo V1.08.
I was attempting to take over a planet and I landed ground troops. I get the normal screen at the end about ground combat will be decided at the end of the turn. When it does take place, I am doing battle at a planet called Asida 0001. There are no facilities and just one troop. This troop easily gets dispatched by my forces and the combat ends, however I am never victorious. The next round of turns I experience the same scenario again.
After several turns of this, I reinvaded the planet with more troops and I think this made this go away.
The system I was invading had no planet called Asida no did the universe have any solar systems called Asida.
Was this some ruminant of testing left in that somehow got activated when invading a particular system?
