AGS: Blackwell Deception (Steam, Win): Can't progress past boat sequence

[Tea23]

After completing the boat sequence and Joey and Rosa take a look at the skyline, the opening credits music will play and display the game's logo but nothing will happen after they walk off screen.

Confirmed with the GOG version as well.

If you skip the sequence with Escape before the end, then you can continue the game.
If you try to use Escape after Joey and Rosa have left the screen however, then the game freezes (and the cursor is also frozen, but you can still quit ScummVM with a keyboard shortcut). The call stack for this frozen state is:

The current master of the original AGS interpreter works properly.
The issue has existed in ScummVM since at least early February (I tested the parent of ff276f88), and possibly since the beginning.

I will try to debug this further.

What's the status of this? Do you have any appropriate saveagmes you can attach?

Closing this ticket, because no followup happened, and the new codebase will likely have fixed any problems in any case.
