Details:

I picked up the Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures game series a while back during one of the Humble Bundles, but I'm only just now getting around to playing it. Unfortunately I ran into the bug mentioned above fairly early into the series. I Googled around for solutions and ran across the forum post I included above that mentioned deleting a couple of files (env_countryroad.dlg and env_townexterior_gromit.dlg) from the game folder. So I went to delete the files, and they weren't there. Apparently the Steam version of the game is different from the retail version. Instead, I found several .ttarch files in the game folder.

Being who I am, I wanted to get to the root of the problem, so I found ttarchext, a tool that lets you extract and rebuild the proprietary ttarch archive files. So using that tool, I found the files mentioned, deleted them, and rebuilt the archives. Unfortunately, not only did that not fix my bug, but once I did get my bug fixed it made my problems worse. It seems the only way to actually fix the bug (in the Steam version, at least) is to copy over a save file past the point where the bug occurs.
