Most glider guns in random ash will immediately be destroyed by the chaos they cause. Those that don’t will eventually reach an eater which will neutralise them. But yes, such things could pose a nasty surprise for any AI trying to clean up the ash. When it removes the eater it will suddenly have a glider stream coming towards it! But this doesn’t prove it’s impossible to clear up the ash.
At a large enough scale the ash field would probably contain glider guns that would restart the chaos and expand the ash frontier.
