In Emacs 22.3, if one turns on auto-save in the Rmail buffer, would
Emacs DTRT?  If so, I'd suggest to try to fix this before the
release.  If it didn't DTRT in Emacs 22.3, I'm okay with postponing
the fix.

How complex is the fix proposed by Richard, and why do you think
installing it on could destabilize the branch?  Can you show the diffs
here?
