The justification given for that is adequate and quite acceptable.
Why? Surely the AI should make the same calculations whether or not it is ending a turn that started from a save game or an ongoing game. The idea of the AI performing some 'xtra calculations' with a save game is nonsense. The most simple answer is that the info that was used for the calcs to trigger the seige/aggressive behaviour/etc has not been saved in the save game and the AI must start accumulating info from scratch.
