I can't speak to the EK Crown problem, but there was in An Tir a few years
back a case like the one in Aten- May Crown was one by a certain Count, he
was to be crowned in July. At some point between the two dates, it came to
light that there was a problem with the validity of his Lady's membership,
which invalidated teh Crown List. (I have been told that the 'problem' came
to light through teh hand of an angry woman with an axe to grind, but I
have no idea if that's actually true- sounds likely though.) So they fought
an entirely new Crown Tournament at Coronation, and less than 24 hours
later, crowned the new king and queen. And that is how my friend Morwyn
became Queen of An Tir.

(As an aside, the young Count, one Torgul Steingrimsson, went on to win
Crown again at a later date. In chief on his device are three crowns- the
center one voided ;-)
