Exactly what it sounds like: whenever I try to load a save, the screen comes up, then the music stutters for about half a second, then the thing CTDs.

Same thing. I note that from the crash log there is a game save version mismatch even when using a brand new game save. It then begins to load Kumquat 3D and crashes.
Testing will be sooooo much easier when save games finally work in beta!
I will heartily second that!
Glad I found this thread. I thought it was just me and one other person. *whew*
It is true that testing for specific crashes will be much easier once save games work. There's a lot of fixes in the pipes I'm sure, this one should be near the top of the list of importance though.
With all the new additions in this beta there's plenty of other stuff to test in the mean time 
I am running Vista 64bit and started trying to run Elemental as an Administrator (right click icon -> run as Administrator) and now I can save and load my saved games just fine. Before that, it would crash every time.
Not sure if this will work for everyone, but it seems to be working now for me.
yea it's a problem with me too... can't really test the game like that
running it on w7 64 bit, tried compatibily modes and admin on and off on all of them, no luck...
after a few "end turns" my game just freezes up and i can't load my autosave anymore...
where's the error report anyway?
Mine happens during "Creating World" while loading a saved game under Vista 64, even running Elemental as Administrator. I will pour over the remaining threads and then post a crash. Unfortunately, I am not getting a zip after the exception ("Turn based strategy game has stopped working"). I can't even get the windows crash dump, a stack trace, or even the actual exception code (but I'd bet on an access violation).
I also don't seem to be able to load a saved game at all in the latest build.
I couldn't from my first 4 games, then my next 2 games I played through the auto-saves loaded OK up to a certain point before they became 'corrupted'.
Interestingly, my first couple of save games could be loaded. However, as I restarted to play different ways, they started freezing upon loading every now and then, and now they crash completely every time.
