Strangely Appearing and Vanishing Glitch (MQ spoiler)

So I was happily proceeding with the main quest and entered the Ilunibi Cavern, near Gnaar Mok.
Since I have light-based sneaking installed as a part of Lights 300, I decided to cast a light spell once inside. Just as I lowered my hands and began to cast, clicking the Left mouse button, my game crashed. I reloaded a few times and experienced the same thing, both inside and outside the cavern.
Finally, I decided to experiment and see if it was the spell I was trying to cast, the location, or something messed with the game itself. I determined that it had nothing to do with the location or the actual spell.
I then loaded an earlier save, and things were fine; I continued with the main quest, and ended up again in Ilunibi... and lo and behold... I was able to cast without a problem...

Has anybody experienced this before? Is it evidence of a corrupted save or what?
Just curious.

Are you using the script extender for this mod? Sorry, I didn't keep in touch with that one thread.

No, I opted not to use the script extender for this installation, though I'd considered it. None of the mods I have installed rely on it

For what it's worth, you might put up here your entire mod list. Or you might try running the TESPCD, which runs comparisons of all mods you're running and provides a list of all conflicts.

As you can see, this time I have tried to minimise, somewhat, my use of script-intensive mods (i.e no NOM, no Travelling Merchants etc.) for FPS reasons, which has been working out quite nicely.
I'm not sure why anything here would conflict..... I'm generally pretty careful about this sort of thing, and I'm puzzled as to why it seems to have only affected one particular save game because when I returned to an earlier save and recovered my tracks everything was just fine. Strange...
