The remaining problem I have with your proposal is only the new owner contributing troops; what if they aren't physically there? What if they're too poor to stock more than a few dozen? Combined with the current fief-granting system favoring proximity to the point where, by the time the map's united, you could basically carve out a dozen continuous countries from your big vassal land-holders, I could see it resulting in a case where castles and cities are perpetually under-staffed.
Ultimately, I think the best solution is to simply make the A.I. recognize the garrison limits and only donate once so as not to be exploitable for infinite Influence looping. This way, cities/castles are properly stacked and factions will (hopefully) practice a more "secure expansion" gameplay loop rather than fast-and-loose whack-a-mole.
