I managed to die by running out of fuel in combat in a system two jumps past St. K's ("Orthus", a system with many Sung fortresses/citadels and a Huari fortress). The insurance corporation there resurrected me, but I was then left in an odd state: the display reported 38 tons of cargo space, yet when I docked to loot anything, every item showed up with the message that I didn't have space to loot it. When I docked with a station to trade, every item showed up as too expensive to buy, although the display showed 200,000+ credits.
I'm afraid that I made the decision on the spot to self-destruct to avoid losing my game progress, so the only save file I have is one that starts again back at the insurance corporation. However, this save file does not duplicate the bug.
As another symptom, though, on self-destructing, the death screen seemed to have no message - just a blank background.
