[BUG] Unit "duplicated" after reloading the game - Screenie inside

*Update*

I've reloaded the game again, and now I have 3 channelers. So:

1. The original one which I had before the first reload

2. The one which can be found in my first post

3. A new one, which has been created from #2.

I cannot move with #1. and #2. only with the new one.

I reproduce the exact same thing. I launched a new game, with default settings, then moved the sovereign one square, then saved. Then loaded the game. Sovereign duplicated. The old one can't move.

I have experienced a similar bug where I am seeing 'ghost' unit icons left on the map.  But in my case they cannot be selected or attacked (I can move units into the same square as if they weren't there), take no actions and did not appear after reloading; I think that I encountered them all while exploring.

My guess is that they were units destroyed by non-player factions before I explored that part of the map.

Map reloading is well known to be borked, see the roundup.

Map missing/gamestate merged after load or new game in same session (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11) (12) (13) (14) (15) (16) (17) (18) (19) (20) (21) (22)

I am suprised he even got a reload.  I stopped trying after two times with siccessive crashes.
