(1) Your example is not reproducible for us, see the footer of this mail 
and follow the posting guide.

(2) You manually set up a lot of interaction terms which actually can be 
seen as alternative-specific variables. You can simplify your formula 
considerably if you use mlogit's y ~ x | z notation. See the two package 
vignettes for guidance: vignette(package = "mlogit")
