Comment (by mduggan):

 Thanks for taking the time to test in such detail.  That's strange, but
 clearly something is still broken.

 I suspect that the treasure info is not getting loaded correctly, but not
 sure why.  To check that it's loading it at all, could you try this?
 * Find `ultima.dat` in the scummvm install dir
 * It's just a zip file, so rename to `.zip` and open it
 * Modify the `ultima8/u8monsters.ini` file to be invalid - just add a junk
 line like `asdf` to the start of the file.
 * Rename back to `ultima.dat` and open scummvm

 When you open Ultima8, scummvm should throw an error when it's trying to
 load the monsters file.  If it's not, then the problem is that the file is
 not getting loaded at all, which would probably explain the problem.

 For reference, I'm using MacOS so there could easily be something wrong
 with the loading code that only happens on Windows.
