The bug is about saving the file every time it's played. Maybe what
happened in your case was that the data was altered the first time it
was saved, and in subsequent times just the timestamps?

So yes, be sure to try out the patch (or much easier if you checkout and
compile git master, because the fix is committed), and report more feedback.
