This is a script bug and the same thing happens in the original. If you try to load an invalid save from any room other than the main menu, room 100, then it works, otherwise the message box has the wrong palette and then crashes.

Game:restore contains SQ6-specific code that is broken. If the current room is 100 then it skips setting temp1 to the cursor but then always uses it when the restore fails.
