Execution of events on one turn is pretty much random (well, it's not
random, of course, but there is no good way to control it either). The
mistake here is that the unit is created, this is recorded, and only
after that the real unit is turned around. Easy fix.

Ideally, I think I'd prefer unit creation events due to handicap
triggers on the first turn not to appear in replays at all. That way
you couldn't distinguish between units which are always there and those
which are only available due to a certain handicap.

Well, "Mining" isn't exactly new...
