They say that these “ghost contracts” should be sorted now, but there is an ongoing problem with “pending contracts” that are also blocking transfers. They’re currently working on a fix for those.

Players on World Y are not impacted, other than an influx of players on the world. World Y territory ownership persists after the merge. Companies are compensated 50K Coin, which is 3.3x the cost of war, for loss of territory ownership due to a world merge. World X characters are relocated to World Y - characters, companies, housing, gold, and owned items remain intact, but territory ownership will not persist on the new world.
“At this time we are not offering transfers to players after a world has been merged. This position may change as we learn more.”
