In Progress Escort Merchant Caravan: Quest completed, but not completed, but completed (you know?)

[Daiyon]

I know theres an open issue: Escort Caravan Quest gets completed when the caravan leaves and enters the same quest settlement.
I got it weirder by adding raiders.

Took "Escort Merchant Caravan" in Jaculan from E. the Potterer
Me: Leaving town,
Caravan: "heading for Galend"
Caravan: starts running around Jaculan, decides to turn back after half the cities width
Runs into Jaculan: Quest completed
Jaculan still showing active Quest marker (the lighter blue one, not the darker one indicating an available Quest)
Me: weird... let's make a safe
Accidentally finding a Group of Raiders with Quest-Marker right after.
Killed them, got the reward as if the Quest was still running.

What I think happened:
Some Trigger caused the Caravan to switch target city and return to Jaculan, maybe the appearance of the raiders, I found, as they sometimes randomly appear during these escort quest.
This compeleted my escort quest, but the raiders were still active and following the same caravan. Questlog is even kind of messed up, showing the following entries:
- Carvan moving to Galend
- Caravan entering Jaculan (completing my quest)
- "you have protected the caravan" NPC yxz is happy
- "caravan has changed way to Marunath"

---- By the way: Quest logs of escort quests seem to be updating with new caravan target cities even after completing the quest. I have completed quests in the log that are 10 days old, but the location is updated until "today" or "yesterday"

Anyways. Me killing the Raiders as they attacked the caravan seemed to have eradicated the open sidestring of that quest.

I have a save of before I killed the raiders and after. Sadly when reloading the earlier one, the game seems to have removed the "raiders" by itself, cant find them anymore.
Just tell me if it helps to upload one of those.

I can confirm I get this too - sometimes the caravan turns around to the city it started from (sometimes instantly, but easy money, eh?). Whenever that happens, I get warnings that the caravan is being attacked, even though the quest is completed. I reproduce this issue in 1.5.7 beta, hadn't played for a while before that so not sure if it's new.

I don't currently have a same where this is about to happen / has recently happened. I do have one where it's happened in the past though. I've uploaded that one under "Escort Merchant Caravan: Quest completed, but not completed, but completed (you know?) 1" - if I get a chance to make a save of one where it's just happened I will add it here.

I may have uploaded the wrong save. Let me know if it's needed - it may just be the steps are easy enough to reproduce it.
I've uploaded another one under Escort Merchant Caravan: Quest completed, but not completed, but completed (you know?) 2.

It happened again, only this time it didn't go to the starting settlement to trigger it. I just finished the quest and got told it was being attacked. Uploaded under Escort Caravan Quest bug OMGtechy.
