Comment (by antoniou79):

 I have found at least one condition that can lead to this bug and it's
 affecting 2.8.1 and 2.9.0git (as far as I've tested):

 The bug occurs at the end of Nimdok's scenario.

 As far as I can tell, the game considers at least two actions as major
 during this scenario, and tracks them with global flags (12 and 13). One
 is getting the mirror and looking at it (flag 12), and the other is how
 you deal with the final choice about the lost tribe (when you have the
 Golem with you) (flag 13, set if Gollem kills the Lost Tribe).

 If you look at the mirror, then no matter what you choose in the final
 choice (kill the tribe or transfer control of Gollem to tribe) the game
 will consider the scenario finished. AM will say different things
 depending on Nimdok's choice and his fate will be different, but the
 scenario is completed.

 However, if you don't take the mirror or if you don't look at it (looking
 at it is the thing that "counts"), then the final choice can only be to
 destroy the lost tribe (or transfer Gollem's control to Mengele who will
 destroy the lost tribe, if you didn't have him look at the mirror). **In
 this case the game will consider the scenario unfinished, and at the same
 time finished.** Nimdok won't appear in the character selection screen,
 but AM's "epilogue" for the scenario suggests that Nimdok has to restart
 his scenario. Also, while only Ted is shown (if he is the last character),
 AM will not be using his special speech for the "final" player.
