Next time this happens, type "C-h l" and see if it gives a clue. In any
case, post the output of "C-h l" here.
Since it sounds like something is invoking "C-x C-s", you might want to
define some hook to be called from basic-save-buffer or one of its
subroutines, to catch the cases when this happens. Then you could have
an idea who called that function.
