Anything I missed, let me know.

Right, so after reloading the game to try the 'screen res change' fix (and not actually doing anything), the save worked. Which confuses me a lot.
Any thoughts?

Hi Golden Arbiter,

thanks for the very detailed bug report, much appreciated. I'm currently gathering data and comparing results. Based on what data I've gotten - I'm browsing other mods / sites for 'em too - I've come to the preliminary realization, that it happens vastly more often for players using Full Screen than those who play in window mode. It's preliminary, because I have not all that much data to go on, and more players play full screen, so it's not too reliable data.
Having tested both windowed and full screen myself, I've gotten these results, which do appear indicative:

Window Style / Number of tries / Bugged On Start / % / Bugged on Reload / %
Windowed / 40 / 1 / 2.5% / 0 / 0%
Full Screen / 40 / 19 / 47.5% / 12 / 30%

Yes, that was a pain to test out (and doesn't count foreign reports so far. I've found a single other reported windowed mode unit-panel corruption so far).

I ran some monitors on system stats while running these tests, which fairly conclusively show that CivBE uses quite a bit multithreading (as a matter of fact, it can cap out all the 6 CPU cores it can see while loading the game). Randomly occuring events that have the same input usually indicate a resource affected issue. This in combination with it only happening when adding Unit promotion mods and with vastly different percentages when in different screen modes leads me to a single most probable place to look at:

Concurrent processing of the UnitPromotion Table from the mod and the preparatory calculation for the unit info bar.

Full Screen and Windowed would have different computational requirements (and significantly different prerequisites in terms of libraries and available resources), explaining the large observed difference between the two.

I'll see what I can do about it (maybe rebuild the unit info panel from scratch, though that would be a pain). One thing I'd considered was postponing loading the promotion tables. The problem with that is that it would likely to cause significant problems with Savegame consistency (probably lead to crashes on all reloads).

Aargh! Sid Fix this! ;(

Anyway,
Cheers and thanks again for the report,
Bosparan

That is a very logical conclusion then, and I will definitely give it a try. Do you think it would be possible to do a windowed fullscreen (I can't remember the term for it, my apologies), which could aliviate the issue?

If you set Civ to 1920x1080 Windowed it will be maximized (fill out the entire screen minus window frame and task bar)

I'm not saying it's this mod (it's always hard to tell what the culprit is), but I am still having issues with the unit UI as described. Changing to Fullscreen back to Windowed (what I usually play on) fixes it, but it's still a bit of a hassle so I thought I'd post my information to see if it helps solve the issue at all.

If there's anything else you need please let me know and I hope this helps.

Thanks a lot for the info, it helps a lot (especially good to know it happens on windowed mode for you. Haven't had many reports on that and I haven't been able to reproduce much of it in windowed mode - Works almost always for me).
I'm currently working on a community fix for this (if it's feasible at all), but I'm just not yet there and every bit of data helps. I've got a database set up for this and gathering reports, which is giving me some data on occurrence distribution, which I then compare with the data from a friend of mine (who works in large scale, end user, computer hardware retail, and thus has the data on the average game rig). The final result then helps me in designing tests (which, alas, so far have been mostly disappointing).
