Details:
With a minimum-size map (16x16) and iso topology, I can reproducibly get this
assertion failure:
2: Creating a map of size 16 x 16 = 256 tiles (map size: 0).
1: in create_start_positions() [startpos.c::381]: assertion 'player_count() <=
sum' failed.
1: Please report this message at http://gna.org/projects/freeciv/
1: The server couldn't allocate starting positions.
1: Failed to create suitable map, retrying with another mapseed
2: Creating a map of size 16 x 16 = 256 tiles (map size: 0).
1: in create_start_positions() [startpos.c::381]: assertion 'player_count() <=
sum' failed.

1: The server couldn't allocate starting positions.
1: Cannot create suitable map with given settings.

I suspect the problem is that there is no land at all (and hence sum==0), but
I haven't actually checked.
Such a tiny map is never going to work well (although it does manage with
topo=""), but we should replace the assertion failure with a more descriptive
error message so that anyone who runs into it has a chance to know how to
change their parameters to something more sensible.
Server settings (for completeness):
set revealmap dead|start
set autosaves ""
set mapsize xysize
set xsize 16
set ysize 16
set topo iso
set aifill 1
