New description:

 Error message looks exactly like the one described on the save/load issue
 #16432, otherwise issue looks unrelated.

 Attaching respective (ScummVM not native game) save file - it is also
 confirmed working in the EN version and there, the described gameplay
 issue does not happen so we can overcome the bug and continue play. From
 saved state, simply enter the house and talk to the wizard. While he
 talks, the debugger will show - again, only happens in German version.
