Details:
Noticed in passing when reading the code:
When a unit has saved orders (such as a connect-with-road path), those are
saved in the savegame with single-character codes. Traditionally 'r' has been
'road'.
This is now ACTIVITY_OLD_ROAD, and upper-case version 'R' has been allocated
for ACTIVITY_GEN_ROAD (with the road type elsewhere).
Unfortunately, savegame2.c:char2activity() matches case-insensitively, so on
loading, both 'r' and 'R' will be interpreted as ACTIVITY_OLD_ROAD (and the
road type will be ignored).
I couldn't conveniently set up a good test case -- with the classic ruleset
and basic roads, I think the OLD_ROAD order gets converted back into the
appropriate gen-road equivalent so the round-trip works for basic roads, but
presumably not for exotic roads.
Probably the simplest solution is to retrospectively declare that activity
codes are case-sensitive in savegame2 format files (after some checking that
they always have been, of course).
