I actually had the save file bloating happen to me a couple of times even before using your patches, so it's probably related to some event not clearing properly when entering the world map: like if you have the wings equipped when leaving the northern tunnel to World Map N, for instance, the battle overlay doesn't stop displaying and you can't enter cities or most areas until you unequip the wings. There are probably others in that vein...
With that said, the map patch (previous and this new one) basically freezes the game when Autosaving if you entered the underground, from my experience, so there is something that's wonky about it.
