Yes... until `save-buffer' calls `basic-save-buffer' which invokes
`write-file-functions', one of which decides to override the notion of
"modified-ness" when it ascertains that the contents have not actually
changed. So modp tells the truth at the time it's checked, but IMO it's
checked too early.
