Alright, I have tried a number of things. Unfortunately, I can't pin down an end-user cause to the bug that occurs during the conversation between Mevius and the final boss. I am assuming that the bug in Chocolate's scenario that I previously reported would occur as well; I didn't really have a convenient way of testing it.
Using the same ROM as always (i.e., hard-patched with Lunar IPS) and SRM, the bug occurred with bsnes version 0.87, Snes9x version 1.53, and ZSNES version 1.51; therefore, the emulator is likely not at fault. From here on out, I just stuck with ZSNES.
To see if the ROM is the problem, I tested my SRM with an unpatched copy of the game, and the bug did not occur. All of the Japanese text during the scene was normal. The unpatched ROM's checksum is also good.
Finally, I tried different methods of applying the translation patch, other than Lunar IPS. I tried soft-patching the game with ZSNES, as well as hard-patching it with Snes-Tool version 1.2, and the bug occurred in both cases.
So it seems like there is something in the translation patch that is causing this bug to happen, but strangely enough, it seems that not everyone experiences it.
Yours are the first reports of these types of glitches at the documented places or any others. We'll keep testing. Thanks for helping us out. If something is causing these issues randomly, maybe we can isolate it.
