Hmm. I have no idea off-hand. Ramk can let you know if you want to try PM'ing him.

I fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling my game and opting into the original_release_unsupported beta. I was also able to enable Blue Marble terrain without any warning or errors.

This error message is sometimes correct and sometimes wrong. If it does not crash during the login, you can ignore it. Otherwise some files, which 'had effect' on ingame evaluations, of your installation differs from the server ones.

I can connect to the server and the file start to load but a message appears that can not save the file. I attach the video, cause the message blinks off very fast (see at the end of the video).
I'm not playing with a Steam version, but the original one with the Patch3.19, although in this case the Warper is running the BeyondSword2015 file.

Is your mod folder in
\My Games\
or in
C:\Program Files (x86)\2K Games\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4 Complete\Beyond the Sword\Mods\
or somewhere else? It shouldn't be in My Games.
Or perhaps have you got the mod folder inside another folder with the same name due to the way extracting a zip file works?

Ok for connecting to the Pitboss trial.
After reinstall it worked properly.

Vanrober and I are friends and we have played together sometimes against the IA. […]
No complains by me and I also want note a fact that maybe not known by all players. All games on Zulans server are administrated by me. Thus it is unavoidable that I had full control over the game.
It goes without saying that I will not take advantage of this.
Mjmd already suggest that you can check your setup by joning the test game.
If this works, you're ready for the game.
Here are some more detailed installation instructions: - Download the linked PB Mod_v9.zip and the BTS_Wrapper-zip from the PBSpy page.
The mod is almost Civ4:BTS, but improves the Pitboss capabilities. The list of changes can be found here.
The wrapper was created to speed up the login process. Nowadays Civ4 starts fast, but the default save file transfer is really slow.
- Unzip the mod into
[Civ 4 installation directory]\Beyond the Sword\Mods\ or
[...]\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization IV Beyond the Sword\Beyond the Sword\Mods
If you use the Steam version, go into the game properties in Steam and select the 'original_release_unsupported' version. Otherwise no DirectIP mode will be available.
- Check the folder structure of the mod because it differs between different unzip programs. It should be
Mods\PB Mod_v9\Assets, not Mods\PB_Mod_v9\PB Mod_v9\Assets.
- Unzip 'BTS_Wrapper_v9_with_gamespy_fix.zip' into the 'Beyond the Sword'-folder.
- Create a shortcut on BTS_Wrapper.exe and expand the target line to
"[...]\Beyond the Sword\BTS_Wrapper.exe" mod= "PB Mod_v9"
Don't forget the space after 'mod='!
- Start the game over the new shortcut. At the first start the Windows firewall and maybe the anti virus protection needs to be handled.
If the Wrapper do not work you could change the shortcut to
[…]\Beyond the Sword\Civ4BeyondSword2015.exe" mod="PB Mod_v9" (now without space).
- Go ingame to Multiplayer>DirectIP and join the test game pb.zulan.net:2057
If it does not crash, you're almost ready 
- Finally, a port forwarding rule in your router is needed to allow other users connections to you, if you're logged in on the PB server. (Civ4 does not sends its traffic over the server, but directly to all connected players.)
For PB games, you need a rule to route UDP-traffic on ports 2056-20XX to your PC.
Each player gets an own port, so use e.g. XX=66 for up to 10 other players.
The default port 2056 can be changed in the CivilizationIV.ini.
Note that in some cases (IPv6-only connection) other users still cannot connect if you are in the game. This is ATM an unresolved problem.
- Now, your setup is complete
