I've managed to run into yet another variation of this problem, though very similar to what I previously posted.

When the game auto-loads a schedule, for some reason it converts all letters in the schedule filename to lower-case, i.e. the league setup will show something like atlantic_league_aaa_c_2006.lsdl.

In a league I just simmed, I had been messing with the settings resulting in the schedule file not being loaded properly when the league was created. So I went into Edit Schedule and loaded the file on my own. The league setup showed the filename as Atlantic_League_AAA_c_2006.lsdl (i.e. with properly capitalized letters exactly like I've named the file, unlike what it normally does). When the next pre-season rolled around, this file was "replaced" by atlantic_league_aaa_c_2006.lsdl, i.e. exactly the same file, but the change from caps to lower-case was already enough to mess up the draft date. Quite curious, really.

I suspect when the game scans the \schedules\ folder to auto-load a schedule, it "sees" all filenames in lower-case (but not when you use the import dialog in Edit Schedule) and for some reason it figured that the originally loaded "Atlantic_League" schedule file was different from the "atlantic_league" schedule file it encountered while scanning the folder, so it (re)loaded the file, and screwed up the draft just like it does when it's loading a file that is actually different.

Simming ahead one more season (after I fixed the draft date manually for season 2), it's fine now, obviously because the schedule file in use was now properly named "atlantic_league" and the game didn't try to load something different.
