Added a save from the original engine in the same room

Reproduced with 1.4.e both on WME 1.9.1 and ScummVM master.
Version 1.5.x is not done with Wintermute, so this bug is as-designed and present in latest game version.

I suggest to convert this defect to a low-priority enchancement (or normal-priority enchancement). Workaround may be possible, but would require hacking room geometry.

I guess the comment from tobiasetan on my other The Kite bug covers this one too?

He said:
https://bugs.scummvm.org/ticket/6722#comment:8

Not yet. Looks like what we do here is

  1. Checking with the original developer if there is an updated version (or plans for one)
  2. If not, we consider adding a workaround.

So, since the original developer did not fix it, i guess we would be going for a workaround.
Then again, if the workaround means adding a "hack" i'd rather vote for it to be an entry on a wiki page which lists known original game bugs...like it's done for AGI here:
https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=AGI/TODO

...and probably add a "Will not be fixed..." or something like that?

Thanks for information on Wiki! I'm still new to most project practices, so I was unaware of such TODO sections. I have requested edit access to wiki pages and will add known Wintermute original bugs (fixed, like #6572 and non-fixed, like this) to corresponding page once I'll get access.

Meanwhile I've talked to Criezy about bug types and priorities.

I will assign this to myself (since I think I know how to fix it when I'll have some time for this) as a "defect" typed bug with tag "original" (by rules for original bugs) and with priority "low" (since it's original behaviour that happens only if you move character in a specific place on specific game act).
