Steps to reproduce:
Claim a gateway, build some rooms
Create a large quantity of golden statues, insure that they aren't mined
Blood money your entire army
At this point, the gateway should pretty much stop spawning troops.
Eliminate Statues
Now, the gateways should start spawning again.

Oh this seems to be in fact an oversight on our end.
We did fix this instantly and the problem should be resolved in the coming hotfix.
Thanks a lot for pointing this out.
