Battle Replay Bug under 2.12 ??

[tinkthank]

In a current MP game hosted on a Linux machine (ok, Phil is hosting), I am playing currently under windows 2000, I watched a battle replay of my assassin (armed with a bottle of water and a phoenix rod) destroying an AI's commander.

The assassin is now nowhere to be found.

There were only 2 other battles in the game that turn that I could see, and none of them involved that province. I had no other Messages (e.g., "Bob the assassin was suddenly attacked by horrors" etc.), and have actually no explanation for my missing assassin except that there is a battle replay bug. (There are other odd things about this game too, such as me logging on to the server, playing a turn, hitting "e", seeing the turn logged, and finding that my turn has not been logged a day later...)
