it works perfectly here. i am not sure i understand even what you are saying describing..
I got the very same issue, all option works the first time, but up on active the hot key the 2nd time, there is a chance it will reduce the amount of given resource back to 0 or -4000 and stuck there, and money cheat will reduce total money value down to around 1.45 coins, so the total value of money is under 2 coins and you won't be able to pay your man, most of them will desert their rank in around 5 mins and says they had enough without pay and food...
Chance on Dev floffed the resource cap and make everything go over it in a large amount into negative value and stuck there?
edit:
reloaded one of my save that was affect by this issue, and found that Food also suffer from the same issue, it will go down to 1.4X as the value so you won't be able to feed your unit as well.
