Maybe we should do just that -- set the buffer-file-name to
/nonexistingdrive/buffername, and set a new variable "buffer needs
file", so that Emacs will ask about saving changes (because there is a
file name associated with it), and then when the user hits C-x C-s,
Emacs recognizes that the fil name is still unknown, and asks the user
for it.
