XEEN: Clouds/Darkside flag not properly saved when restarting a new game

[darkstar]

When quitting while in Darkside (Castleview in my case) and then, in the main menu, starting a new game right away, my whole party starts in the Elemental Plane of Water instead of Vertigo.

The coordinates are not the same though (for example when quitting in Castleview at X=30, Y=18, the party starts at X=18, Y=4 in the plane of water)

This is probably related to #10456

Reopening this ticket, as the problem is still there (perhaps a reversion?) in both 2.8.1 Release and the Nov 14 daily build of 2.9 (2.9.0git10843-g4a44311488d). Added note, the location the party appears in may be invalid, as any attempt to move or turn results an immediate game over.
