I don't see how it would pose much of a problem even if [big if] such self-marriages were legally recognized and registered by the civil authorities.  Autogamous marriages would be dead ends because they couldn't produce any children; parthenogenesis is impossible in mammals.  Any children attached to the autogamous individual would be either adopted or illegitimate.  But adoption and illegitimacy are not new problems for family historians.  We've all had to deal with them in our family trees.
