Do not underestimate the user. He might try just that for no reason whatsoever.

I don't see what you mean, I can't reproduce.

What I tried was:

mv ~/.naev ~/.naev.tmp
./naev
--> Load Game
--> Select None and click "Load"

Nothing happens. Is that what you meant?

Try creating a save file, then deleting it from the Load Game screen so that the game
"knows" there is (or, rather, was) one, then try to load. Last time i tried to load
immediately after deleting the save files Naev loaded the latest one (already deleted
by then) instead - using the cache/backup. After restarting the game the situation
described in the original comment took place.

I don't really consider this an issue but I've got a patch done that protects against
this, should make it to trunk soonish.
