Here is an update. The culprit appears to be the process
dsSamProxy.exe, which Juniper launches on startup. If we terminate
this process after successfully starting Juniper, Mathematica no
longer has the problems with saving (and Juniper seems to work OK as
well). We don't know exactly what is going on yet, but at least we can
get some work done.
