Great Works of Art & Music being randomly re-attributed

Has anyone else come across the issue of many of their Great Works of Art & Music being randomly re-attributed to other Artists or Composers?

I noticed this issue this morning whilst continuing my current game as Venice (presently up to 1926, in the Modern Era). The save file is attached for your perusal.

Anyway, some examples...

- - - - -

Example #1: Art as other Artist's Art

In my Uffizi Gallery, what was originally Katsushika Hokusai's 'The Great Wave' is now shown as being Katsushika Hokusai's 'Henry VIII' (which is of course Hans Holbein's 'Henry VIII', which my Civ has not created by the way).
I checked earlier saves from 1850 (Industrial Era) and 1804 (Renaissance Era) this problem was there too, though whether this is a reload issue I'm unsure. However, I know when this work was originally created it definitely showed the graphic of Hokusai's 'The Great Wave', not least because I remember thinking it seemed an appropriate work for the naval-oriented Venice.
Similar issue with several other works... e.g. Gustav Klimt's 'The Kiss' now being credited as Gustav Klimt's 'View of Toledo' (El Greco).

Example #2: Art as other Composer's Music

Samuel F. B. Morse's 'Gallery of the Louvre' is now a piece of music, Samuel F. B. Morse's 'Symphony , which should of course be Franz Josef Haydn's 'Symphony No. 93'!
Similar issue with Winslow Homer's 'Breezing Up' now being credited as Winslow Homer's 'Fifth Symphony' (Beethoven).

I've not seen this issue with Works of Music or Literature being randomly re-attributed, so I'm guessing this is a graphics issue?

Please load the save and tell me if your install of the game shows this issue, as it could also be something local to my install of the game.

A few general questions. Was there a point in the game when this became noticeable to you? During theming, after trading, etc?

I noticed it first when I had entered the Modern Era, but have a suspicion it might also have been after I first swapped works with another civ and first started theming.

I have reloaded several save from earlier eras and error show up in these files that I don't recall seeing when I initially played those turns -
e.g. 1250AD save (Medieval Era) >> Giotto di Bondone's 'Adoration' is shown as Giotto di Bondone's 'Night Watch' (with is by Rembrandt). This error shows in 1540 AD (Renaissance) and latest save 1984 (Modern Era).

Also get this error in my only other (unfinished) game as Morocco.

Other thoughts - if no other (PC-based) player has reported this bug is this a Mac-specific bug? No one has fed back on whether the save I posted shows these errors so I can't say more on this. I will PM my (Mac) friend dojoboy on the Forum and see what he sees.

I will start a new game very shortly and pay close attention to what errors happen and when!
