Bug Description
Typing Watertown into the search box returns a list of Watertowns with their states in parenthesis, all except the last one which is just "Watertown, United States". This is Watertown, South Dakota. When the location is selected, the Name/City box says "Watertown (South Dakota)". The default location is saved in config.ini as "Watertown (South Dakota), United States", but when Stellarium is restarted, the error
Warning: location "Watertown (South Dakota), United States" is unknown
is dumped into the terminal, and Paris is used as the location again. If config.ini is manually edited to use "Watertown, United States" as the default location, it will start in Watertown instead of Paris.

I can confirm this. Something is wrong with the way in which locations that belong to a subdivision are handled.
For example, in my build, some of the other Watertowns are displayed as "Watertown (New York) (New York)" both in the list and in the "Name" field. Side effect from the transition to binary format?
