Overlord DLC bug: Hammerhead clips through ground

After installing the Firepower DLC, I went to do the Overlord mission with Grunt and Legion, completed Hermes station with no problems, but on getting to the Hammerhead travel section, I keep clipping through the ground whenever I go across a section that has empty space beneath (e.g. the stone bridge leading to Vulcan station). I looked through the forums and found that people have had crashes when Legion accompanied them on the mission (but at Prometheus station only, no problems similar to mine). Also, I had not completed the Firewalker missions, so I went and tried to do them first, with Jacob and Samara in the group. The instant I get into the Hammerhead, it clips through the ground, into the lava and gives me a "Critical Mission Failure".

I have previously completed these missions with another character with the same settings, so I highly doubt that the graphics settings are to blame, but I'll include the system settings anyway:
Gateway P7811-fx with GeForce 9800m gts, 512 MB video RAM, 4GB RAM. Vista 64-bit Home Premium, latest sound and video drivers.
GPU underclocked to 400 mhz core clock, 300 mhz memory clock, 800 mhz shader clock.
(the reason I underclocked was that my GPU kept overheating to >100 deg. C and crashing while playing ME2- a problem specific to this laptop, after hunting around I found this particular solution). The only difference I noted after underclocking was that enemies kept clipping through the ground after being hit by tech or biotic powers. But this made no difference to the Overlord mission on my previous playthrough.
I have the Mattock rifle and Phalanx heavy pistol on my Renegade Engineer, Geth rifle and Geth shotgun on Grunt and Geth rifle and Widow sniper on Legion while on Hermes Station, and on the Firewalker mission, same loadout for me while Jacob had the Plasma shotgun and Samara had the Mattock rifle.

I have thus eliminated the possibility of a Legion-related crash (I clipped through on Overlord where he was in the party, and on Firewalker where he wasn't).
I have played through both DLC on a previous playthrough with the same settings (and same edits on the Gibbed save editor, where I gave extra squad points, resources and credits, as well as minimizing Paragon or Renegade points). Therefore, graphics settings and Coalesced.ini modifications do not seem to be the problem.
On both missions, I had as many weapons of the Firepower DLC equipped on me as I could, and with one weapon from it equipped on at least one character. I will go back and check if the presence/absence of the weapons changes anything and will update this if necessary.

Meanwhile, can anyone else confirm whether this problem can be replicated on their PCs and/or offer a solution? I would appreciate it if someone from Bioware can offer some insight on this problem.

UPDATE: I tried starting the Firewalker mission again, without any weapons from the Firepower DLC, and the Hammerhead clipped through the ground instantly.

I remember that on completing Prometheus station the first time and getting into the vehicle roam section, ME2 crashed and quit to desktop. Restarting with the autosave posed no problems, but then the clipping began.

I checked and my achievements are still there (since I had lost them before when one of my overheating-related crashes corrupted my save files and made me lose them). So either my save files are borked again in some other manner, or the newest DLC really did make a mess of things.
