Unfortunately, 2.2 is as stable as it gets. There are rumors of a 2.2.1 bugfix release, but you shouldn't hold your breath waiting for it. If the devs don't put up a replacement binary with the new library, i will see about putting something together.

An easy fix for the SDL bug is to simply download the updated SDL, SDL_ttf and SDL_mixer frameworks and replace the ones in UFO:AI.app/Contents/Frameworks with the newer versions. They are API compatible and seem to work well. I've been running the game this way for a couple months now without the level switching bug happening.

I was unaware i could do that. Nice hint, here's a virtual beer! ::) FWIW, the TTF and mixer frameworks in the binary appear to be up to date, so i think you only have to replace SDL.framework.

I thought I could clear it up by choosing a language too, so I chose English, loaded my game, and no luck. I'm running v 2.2, the .dmg.
Otherwise, I haven't had an issue. Thanks so much for making this. I've been waiting a long time for XCOM on a mac.
EDIT: Got it working. Switched to another language, switched back to English, quit immediately, relaunched, and it worked!

Yes! Thanks for posting your fix... I was having the same issue; the "pick another language" approach seems to have cured me, too.
