Automatic savegames aren't corrupted, only the ones made manually with
the save command. You only need to 'trigger' research by building one
city for this to happen, so not a lot of turns are needed.

set techlevel 5, set compress 9
start, build a city, end turn (to have more than 0 bulb)
manual savegame
endgame 
reload the game -> corrupted research in science dialog

now, try with :
techlevel 0 and compress 9 -> seems ok
and another with 
techlevel 5 and compress 8 -> seems ok

Possibly something is wrong on my system ?
