I was able to go down, but if I return back up the car does seem to get a bit confused about how to move. But from your description, it doesn't sound like that's quite the same as your problem...

I think I see what's happening in my "enter from below" case:

It reaches the case in Scene2702::moveCareToPoint() where it calls sendMessage(_asCar, 0x2004, pt.x)

That ends up calling AsCommonCar::handleMessage() in module1600_sprites.cpp, where it uses asPoint() to convert the parameter into a Point. But that means, as far as I can tell, that we just throw away the Y coordinate, by setting it to zero. So presumably it moves as close as it can to that, using only the current track, which is why it moves up.

I can fix that by changing it to sendMessage(_asCar, 0x2004, pt) but if so, should that change also be made in other places?

Changing it in Scene2706::moveCarToPoint() seems to improve things slightly in that scene as well, but not nearly as much because in this case the track is short, and at the upper part of the screen, so Y coordinate 0 is never far off.

I didn't notice any bad effects from the call in Scene2706::changeTrack().

I'm attaching a savegame for the Scene2706 glitch, even though I still don't know if this is relevant to this particular bug report. To reproduce that glitch, go down and then click anywhere on the short track leading up and to the right. Even if you click below the car, it will go up.
