I noticed in a couple more complex King Hesper rooms with clones undo would sometimes stop working, and finally realized it was related to checkpoints and swapping a lot. The good news is it doesn't seem to repro with unlimited undo, so that's an easy workaround.

Repro steps:
1. Set undo limit to not infinity. (I tried with 5 and 30)
2. Load the test hold (it's just a room with a pre-placed clone and a checkpoint), alternate switch clones and wait about twenty times.
3. Step onto the checkpoint.
4. Alternate switch clones and wait another twenty times.
5. Reset to checkpoint.
6. Make some moves and try to undo them.

I'm on Windows, Steam release of Gunthro (5.1.1.624). Drod.err didn't have anything from my repro session or the last time I noticed this in my normal playthrough.

(Also, I tried emailing this to bugs@caravelgames.com, but it bounced with a "553 this account has not been confirmed")
