Could there be a problem with resetting this flag? Soon before the hang, it sets AutoAnim on spriteId 49 - 77, but the spriteIds checked in the infinite loop are 25 - 48. (The 48 vs 49 sounds suspiciously close.)

Just thinking out loud here, since I'm not too familiar with HE rendering, but since I don't see a tracker item for this, I don't know how much you already figured out.
