And a theory emerges.
I've never had problems. Never ever ever. The setup of the two people who provide pndout's show that they're both using a FAT filesystem. I run ext2 on my cards. And from the look of it, that's what makes all the difference, as their pndout's show that they fail when writing to the savefiles.
I just did a test on a fresh, newly formatted card, and I can confirm these exact results. Fails on FAT, bundles of fun on ext2.
I have no fix at the moment, and I won't recommend people switching to ext2 as that's a bit of a hassle for most people. I'll have to dig around the Pingus source a bit and see exactly what checks it's doing to fail, but at least I'm pretty sure what the problem is. I'll add a disclaimer to the repo description, too.
