I've got the same problem when attempting to change party members, but for me it started after recruiting the Grieving Mother. I returned to Caed Nua to re-add Sha but found that I couldn't change my party anymore. I'm also unable to access the Barracks in the stronghold -- I get the "returned to main menu to prevent save game corruption" error. The output_log shows the following errors at the tail end:

I've tried disabling auto-level up, but that didn't help. Another interesting thing: I tried swapping Grieving Mother for Sha a few times and, after a couple of attempts, it started to show Sha as a Barbarian instead of a Cipher.
If I just go straight to the party maintenance screen and attempt to add Sha (or any other character), I get:

I do not have either White March expansions installed, and I'd prefer not to be forced to purchase them to play the base game.
In both errors above, the source seems to be attempting to load one of the characters from disk (StoredCharacteInfo.RestoreCharacter()). Based on prior comments, I'm assuming that's due to the introduction of WM2 abilities that the base game doesn't understand, resulting in an error.
Would love to see a patch for this -- this is a breaking issue for me as I'd prefer not to play on with a subset of characters and never be able to swap them.
