A tentative patch would be to replace movePlayer other_table.update with

if not other_table.update_recursion:
other_table.scheduleAutoDeal()

since the comment associated with other_table.update addition is

r4769 | loic | 2008-10-23 17:36:38 +0200 (Thu, 23 Oct 2008) | 2 lines : call update when the player moves or the hand may not be dealt in a heads up tournament table.

The action associated with movePlayer / balance games was designed to not create any pokergame events that would require calling table.update

When endTurn is run because of a packet received by tableA and balanceGame breaks tableA, the movePlayer callback will invoque table.update and trigger a recursion warning.

There should be a way to detect this specific case and not run table.update. Since the table.update is called at the very end of the process, there is no harm done.
