Summary0013534: Intelligent-undead mayor crashes game on unpause
DescriptionLoading my fortress that I had last saved in 53.15 (https://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=17882) in 53.16, my intelligent-undead mayor suddenly has a purple skin tone instead of the standard cyan one. On unpausing the game, she loses both her job title and her intelligent-undead name ("risen one" or somesuch), and almost immediately the game freezes then exits to desktop. The crashlog (https://pastebin.com/nfezwXRV) references this unit.

I was able to render the save playable by using the DFHack "exterminate" command to kill my mayor before unpausing. I've continued playing for several hours further, and no other issues have appeared in regards to this.
Steps To Reproduce- Have a savegame from 53.15 with an intelligent-undead fortress citizen
- Load save in 53.16
Tagscrash, Mayor, undead, zombie citizen
