The ~/.emacs.d/auto-save-list/ directory is used for the `.saves-*' files 
where Emacs saves session information (used by "M-x recover-session").  
(See startup.el:auto-save-list-file-prefix.)

These are not the normal auto-save files, but they do resemble them 
because Emacs saves session info periodically, like it does with 
auto-saving.  Perhaps the problem was with those files, not with autosave 
files.
