Malaaq won't spawn in version 1.3

[neomagusx]

I just started a new game of BG2:EE, which is my first playthrough since 1.3 was released. I'm currently using version 1.3.2064.

I read all the patch notes and was interested in the changes to Malaaq, the genie in the pocket plane in Irenicus' dungeon. I used a character with Varscona, so I was looking forward to getting it from Malaaq.

Unfortunately, Malaaq won't spawn when I use his lamp terrain object (not the inventory quest item used to free him). I click on the usable terrain, and after a few seconds it becomes non-interactive, but no sign of Malaaq.

Is anyone else having this problem? Are there other NPCs that are failing to spawn as of version 1.3, or other new progression / quest problems?

Any idea when the problem(s) will be fixed?

Mallaq spawned fine for me - not sure what encountered that bug, try reload a save before him (if you have it).

I have a save right before interacting with his terrain object (right before he should spawn). I tried reloading and retrying several times with no luck.
