Quite possible. I didn't know you could drag something in the signature box.
That's probably what it didn't like. I don't think you did something wrong.
The Owner Info app was simply not prepared for this drag and drop.

This probably left the names soup in some corrupted state, since the owner
info is simply a special card in the Names soup, hence the crashes when you
were trying to restore the name soup.

Everybody beware, now! Never try to drag and drop a signature from another
application into the Owner Info!

-Laurent.
