Itermerel will accept anything as Pelagiad after loading

Steps to reproduce:

• Take the relevant quest from the Mages Guild.
• Talk to Itermerel at the inn and travel together.
• Take the silt strider to Seyda Neen together.
• Once you arrive, save.
• Now load again.

After reloading, the question advances to stage 70, where Itermerel believes to have arrived in Pelagiad, even though you're in Seyda Neen. Naturally, Itermerel will then stay wherever you took him before reloading. In my case, he's now in the Adrano Ancestral Tomb, believing it to be Pelagiad and refusing to travel any further with me.

A related issue (with Itermerel believing to be in Pelagiad when he's not) is also described here: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Escort_Itermerel#Notes but it's supposed to be much harder to trigger.

This is with 0.41.0
