Dropping the Human Level to -1 or negative numbers seems to be the root of the issue. It's a super rare thing that has only been reported to me twice and I was never able to replicate it. That's why I'm still trying to figure it out. Hm...I found the older save of mine for 0.97 version. Human lvl is 3, monster lvl is 2. Ada is not present yet in the village (it appears after I save and load in goldy village).
In this save the old man can be polymorphed. I missed that option in chat with him and just noticed it. Still, somehow without modifying saves later I managed to drop human lvl below 0 and raise monster lvl up to 7.
The only thing I can think is that, at some point in development, I updated one of the events to calculate the levels differently. And so in extremely rare cases like yours and the one other person, using an older save with a newer version, there must have been something between 'when you saved the game' and 'when you resumed playing the game' that allowed you to drop into the negatives.
I could spend some more time testing it, and I might, but I've already spent over an hour trying to find this supposed loop before and I still haven't found it yet. If it still exists somewhere in the game it must be caused by doing something that I would never think to do. (Which is saying a lot, since I test out switching the houses back and forth a bunch of times on almost every version update)
