I wasn't able to do that in a clean game. Shambling Swarm left the bf and was not available to target when it came time to distribute counters.

I replicated the problem and it happens if you sacrifice Shambling Swarm at least to Balance,you select the creature to sacrifice,it's legacy is created but Shambling Swarm is still on the battlefield so you can target it or obliged to target it in my case as it was the only creature in play.
A new savegame is attached this time showing the bug.

Must be an interaction with Balance, because that is the only situation I could replicate your bug with.

With the new version of Balance this bug is gone as the creatures that are going to be sacrificed have the "can't target symbol", so they can't be targeted by their own ability when dying.

Everything has been fixed but there is a little aesthetic bug with the target symbol of Shambling Swarm own dying ability that remains for ever on targeted creatures.
