I'm currently using 3.1 and just noticed that a no demo was recorded for "Troshian Tower: Warp Level: 1N". I thought the fix for this bug was meant to be in 3.1 so thought I'd mention it. Apologies if this is part of the 12% left of the patch.

Let me know if there's any further info which could help. I resolved it by restoring to the last checkpoint and exiting. This did record a demo. From experience, it seems the lack of demo recording is linked to the length of time I leave the game on a given room. In particular, this room was left on move x for nearly 2 hours before I carried on.

Just to see if the same sort of thing's happening: have you tried restoring to checkpoint as you did, playing a few moves, and then either undoing or pressing 'R' and seeing if completing the room still saves a demo? In some long rooms with lots of checkpoints in Magic Show 2, this caused a demo not to save in 3.0.0 for me.

I'd test myself in 3.1, but I can't save *any* demo right now with my current data files (which I reported in the 3.1 thread).

Excellent catch!

I returned to the room, restored to the last checkpoint, deleted my demo, killed the last mud eye, hit r, killed it again and exited.

No demo recorded.

Hope that helps :)

[EDIT]

Hitting undo instead of r causes no demo to be recorded too... Also, you're right that there's lots of checkpoints (24 in fact).
