Some preliminary updates.
I attempted to replicate this bug today as Eric said he was having difficulty doing so.
I did manage to do so, but i noticed another bug that may be related (or perhaps even the cause) which i reported here.
I did a lot of testing with this bug trying to replicate it.
In one of my saves, all i had to do was turn the lock marketing percentage checkbox on for that specific city then try to apply any changes to its marketing budget and those changes would not be there the next turn.
Simple example, in month one with the checkbox unchecked i had 0 event/newspaper marketing
During month one I set each of them to x, say 200 using only the apply button
in month two with the checkbox unchecked they showed as 200
During month two I turn the checkbox on and try setting each of them to 0 using the apply button.
In month three they show as 200 still.
But i can remember trying to replicate the bug with that process other times and the same bug not occurring.
Im really confused by this one.
If anyone else can share times its happened to them, especially if you have figured out what the player has to do to cause it, that might be useful in figuring this out.
