Comment (by OmerMor):

 Gloria's body location has 50% chance of being in the well, unless you
 enter one of these rooms in act 3, while some global variable is less than
 7. In that case the body is set to be found in the gazebo.

 That global variable is named `gJeevesChoresState` in sluicebox's
 decompiled scripts.
 It is set in the clarwand.sc script as `(= gJeevesChoresState (- 7 (/
 [gCycleTimers 3] 100)))` or in a c style: `gJeevesChoresState = 7 -
 (gCycleTimers[3] / 100);`

 So I guess in your save game the global for (the future position of)
 gloria's body was already set in act 3.

 I didn't investigate any deeper than that, but I'm sure Sluicebox would
 love to elaborate.
