Astoundingly enough, that worked! I'm now confused, bewildered, befuddled and very grateful :) Whether comparing the two saves might shed some light on my problem, I don't know. Ah well, with luck it'll never happen again...
Very odd. Things I've tried so far: Deleted all my other saves (522mb worth) and turned off Autosave: no joy. Then tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling the game. Still no good.

I might try a reinstall regardless, just in case something has messed up somewhere.
Hm. No joy on this one yet then? I must admit I'd like to know if the save is doing this for anyone else- I could back the saves up and reinstall, but I'd rather not do that without some idea of whether it might help.
