Culture Bomb delay bug

[WealthyAardvark]

So I was fooling around as Gandhi on Chieftain, just getting a feel for the new policy updates that came with 1.0.1.332. I ended up running for a cultural victory and started to produce a horde of Great Artists. While using them to run a belt of territory all the way across the world that belonged to me, I was dismayed to learn that you can only Culture Bomb every 10 turns. However, I discovered that if you reload the game while one of these delays is in effect, the delay is cancelled and you can Culture Bomb again immediately.

The save has two artists from the Louvre hanging out in the west. Culture Bomb with one, save, load, and then try to Bomb with the other to replicate.

Reloading is cheating, so you essentially found a bug that allows you to cheat more effectively

It'd still be nice to get this fixed, if only to spit in the faces of other cheaters.

I imagine that the timer until the next Culture Bomb is available is either not getting stored in the save game files, or it's being reinitialized when the file is loaded.
