Started a new save on the new beta patch on a small planetoid, 2 major regimes nearby. Despite being 4 turns in one of them (Auson State) has not expanded from their initial borders despite having multiple ways to expand. I had the lastplanetgeneratesave save handy so I reloaded it to check. They still did not expand despite having boarders with non aligned regimes. They have units, they are just camped inside the city hex not moving.
I then tried another test on the same save and by chance got some info on another AI major regime (Luthersgabe) and they ALSO had not expanded. However, there is another major regime AI which is expanding. Attached 3 save files (lastplanetgenerated for pure start, Non Expand AI Save 2 for seeing 2 non expanding AIs and then Cult of the Moon for the save I spotted the issue) in a zipped 7z file.

Did a bit more testing - could be down to size of the planet. I tried a small Seth planet and all AI major regimes expanded after 5 turns in (with survival stress on so plenty of major regimes). I then tried a small planetoid with only 2 other AI major regimes and 1 expanded, 1 didnt. I tried small Seth planet with no survival stress - both AI major regimes expanded.

Finally I tried planetoid on medium size with and without survival stress. Medium was fine without survival stress, medium with survial stress resulted in 1 major not expanding.

I suspected this issue might also be the case for moon planets but it was not. Small moon with survival stress and both other major regime AIs expanded.

Didnt get round to trying the Oceania small planet so that may or may not have the same issue.

Vic said he have fixed a problem causing supply not delivered to AI's units. But I think AI Major still have some problem like you encountered here.
