Repro steps:
1. Load the attached save game.
2. Send "Elasia" into the Nashkel Inn
3. Let Neira (the bounty hunter) approach and engage you in dialog. Choose any options.
4. Once Neira is hostile, wait for her to start casting a spell (so that you know she is aware of you) and then tell Elasia to leave the Nashkel Inn.
5. Wait for Neira to follow you outside.
6. Wait for Rasaad to start attacking Neira.
7. Once Rasaad is attacking Neira you can ctrl-y her. Rasaad should then approach you for dialog.
8. Chose any dialog options with Rasaad. (Whether he joins or not does not matter.)
9. Enter the following console command:
Expected: The Rasaad_Plot global variable should be set to "1" after dialoging with Rasaad for the first time.
What this does: The Rasaad_Plot variable is supposed to be set to 1 after the initial meeting with Rasaad. (You will note that if you initiate the dialog with him, instead of him approaching you, then the variable is set to 1 regardless of what you say.) This variable has no effect until later, when you reach the city of Baldur's Gate. One of the triggers for the dark moon ambush in the docks district of Baldur's Gate is this variable being set to 1. If the variable is not set to 1 then the ambush will never take place and neither will any other part of Rasaad's BG1 quest. Since there is no possible way to set this variable to 1 (without using the console) if the above repro steps are followed then the quest will never happen.

If it would be ok with @Cerevant or @Sphen0 I would be willing to do that to make it easier for people to find an issue they have with ctrl-f. I would use a similar format to the BG2:EE known issues list.
