If so I think it's the Allegro encryption password handling change rearing its ugly head again. I'll investigate.
No, no.

The default quest in ZQuest crashes., when you load it (clean copy).

ZQuest cannot read time save file headers in addition to the crash, and that does in fact sound like a packfile_password("") issue. Did i forget to correct the allegro-fix patch that ntfwc applied to master?
