Do you have any AI players in the game?  Including barbarians, I guess.  
If so, this is a known problem which has existed forever :-(

I think one part of solution would be to change when autosaves
are made, so they occur just before (or after) "interactive mode",
and then at least the things which should (or shouldn't) be done
for reloading to be consistent will be the same for manual saves
and autosaves.  Still have to be careful about when necessary AI
and other initialisations are done, and not calling rand() extra 
times, etc.
