Looks like the client was passing stupidly formatted options to the game. Made the lobby tolerant of this particular flavour of retardedness from the client:

To anyone that experiences this, take note that if you are running Lobby Manager, it breaks. Remove Lobby manager. This can be another cause for black screen of death when joining/hosting a lobby.
So it is a perfectly logical mechanic, do you know what engines/propulsion the planes use?

No actually it is a Dirtymatter Propulsion System otherwise known as DPS that you often hear people talking about.

I'm having the same black screen problem.

I don't have Lobby Manager. I deleted all mods from Documents\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\Mods without effect.
