How did you apply your custom master page to your team site? I assume you enabled the Publishing features (both site collection and site level) however saving a site as a Site Template which has publishing features enabled is not supported by MS. You could potentially create a custom Web Template which is based on a Team site site definition that has your custom master page applied.
