I did what you say and I succesfully expanded to that area from some autosave from earlier in the game. I got a dialog box about another task: building a warehouse and stables (which is where my provided savegame crashes).

I doubt the savegame is broken. The same thing happened to my savegame (provided), and last autosave before it.

I found out something very strange, however. If you load a very early savegame from this mission, or even start it from beginning, then immediately leave the game (without leaving Widelands) and load the provided savegame, the game WILL NOT crash!
However, this cannot be just any game running beforehand (I'm guessing it must contain princess.png).

The reason I stumbled upon this bug was that I took a break from a game, and saved it at this exact moment, and apparently it doesn't like being resumed from here.

My guess is that the game depends on that picture being somehow cached beforehand, and for any reason it is not when running a savegame.

I'll be happy to help if I can! :)
