Help! My immigrants are committing genocide!

Playing as Germany in 1871 (started 1850), I used the Immigrants colonial action to send settlers to two provinces in South West Africa, which I currently have as a protectorate.
The colonial action was successful, I waited the required number of turns and the message came up saying the immigrants had arrived. The same turn, I got a notification that the depots in those provinces had ceased operation due to lack of workers. Checking the provinces, it seems that the population of each is now zero: they're entirely empty of people.
What happened?
My best guess is that the Immigrants action is supposed to reduce the existing population (Herero, etc) by -1, then add +5 new German population. The first part is working fine, and presumably the provinces only had 1 population to start with, so -1 reduces it to zero. However, the second part of the action is not working: the new population is not being added.
Any thoughts or suggestions, anyone?
Is there a way to edit a save file to add 5 population to each of those provinces manually? I did have a look but couldn't see any obvious place the numbers were stored. (And I know nothing about using scripts or the like, unfortunately.)
