Not a bug.
Game does start, but it is immediately over because Red player wins. Victory condition is "acquire artifact or defeat all enemies". Since there are no enemies, victory condition is fulfilled.

Such behaviour was intended by NWC. If you open the second attached map in the editor and select Tools -> Validate Map you'll get message:
"«There is only one player on the map but the normal victory condition has not been disabled.»
If there is only one player on the map, and the normal victory condition has not been disabled, the single player would win the game instantly."

We may think about better handling such situation (give correct victory message) but it's not a priority since such "immediate victory" maps doesn't make any sense.
