I don't know why people act shocked when a new patch comes out and old stuff (from before the patch release) goes fruity. It's to be expected, same as if you combine mods which weren't made specifically to be used together.

It doesn't happen every turn, so it is not consistent. There is no rhyme or reason to it. With a co-op MP hotseat game Kaljamaha and I were alternately being accused of cheating every now and then and sometimes there were turns where there was no cheat messages, so it is hardly because a game was created on an older version. Not just because of that anyway. We did have some mods enabled, which is why this should be tested on a new SP game with vanilla.

The problem is that mods can't cause gold creation unless negative gold costs are feasible, and the mods we had did not do that anyway.

If the problem doesn't come up in a new game made under the current version, then it is an issue with old games (from before the update) being used after the update is applied. What exactly the issue is doesn't even matter, because you already have your solution in this case.

I'd test this but I'm at work.
