1.9.6 and false campaign statistics

[Faello]

Recently I've moved from 1.8 branch to 1.9. branch to play some campaigns with updated graphics and give some feedback to campaign creators and developers.

I've noticed that after couple of scenarios in Tale of the Two Brothers my overal damage inflicted in the last scenario was like +90% to what should've been inflicted in the whole campaign according to wesnoth stats - it happened at the end of scenario 3, turn 20 (this WML bug is visible on the replay I've posted in the AToTB Campaign Feedback HERE)

Now, the same thing happened to me in my new HttT campaign at the end of scenario 3, turn 20 (you can see the same WML bug again on the replay I've posted HERE)

I got following information: Error: empty side = and no [filer_side] is deprecated

When it happens, it automatically resets the total damage that player should inflict to the initial scenario stats (doesn't mess up the taken damage tho'). It doesn't mess the replay stats, but it does mess the savegame stats. Some screenshots:
prebug-Screenshot1
bug-Screenshot2
replay-Screenshot3

You can do the math using screenshots 1 and 3 - my estimated inflicted damage should be 2839,1

...and saves proving my point:

Using 1.9.6 on window XP SP3, i noticed the same error in the shipped with the default Wesnoth campaign " A Tale Of Two Brothers " too.

I have not played much of 1.9.6 , it was the first campaign i tried after installing, and in the 2nd mission, at the very end when the party capture an undead mage and win the scenario, there is an armored character that come and offer his help by joining the player current party for the next mission.
After accepting him joining, the error message appeared.

But it was not a game breaker as the next mission loaded apparently without a problem.

For some reason despite i selected "english" in the installer, i notice that during this campaign a few dialogues are in my OS language (french) while most of the dialogues and menu are in english as i wanted it to be when setting the installer option to "english".
That's annoying.

Deprecation messages aren't bugs. It's only a message that something will become a bug somewhen in the future if nothing is done about it.
And it's most likely unrelated to statistics bugs.

In case anyone doesn't know, you make the error message go away by typing
