I was just experimenting. And this solution was the first which didn't
crash client or server.
The problem is that the client needs to know value of
game.info.is_new_game and rulesets in order to properly display flags on
the PAGE_NATION page. Loading a game when there are clients connected is
really messy.

Anyway, there's another problem with my patch: There's a race between
the aifill spin button and loading a savegame with aifill != 5. This
problem deserves a separate ticket. Generally aifill should be
synchronized with the aifill spin button, but in practice there are so
many scenarious when it isn't.
