I found this bug as well and reported it to Wolfram along with a
minimal test case.  It is indeed a bug and I guess hopefully they will
be fixing it at some point.  (How do I know when they have?  How do I
get the fix?)

My question is how to work around this.  I want to create a
work-around that does not require clicking an extra button.  However I
cannot seem to find any kind of "save hook" that will allow me to
execute code when a notebook is saved.  Is there such a thing?  (And
if not, why not? :-)

Thanks,

Michael
