The Sagnac effect requires that two beams of light travel the complete circuit so that their phases may be compared. Since your circle has radius one billion light-years, that means that at least 6.28 billion years must pass before the "Sagnac observer" can detect anything.

Also, nothing in your gedankenexperiment says anything about light being constrained to travel in a circle. Back to the drawing board!
