hexl: auto-save saves file in hexlified format

In GNU Emacs 22.0.93.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.8.20)
 of 2007-01-23 on trpaslik
configured using `configure  '--with-gtk' '--prefix' '/usr/local' '--with-xpm' 
'--with-jpeg' '--with-png' '--with-gif''


While editing a file using hexl-mode, all auto-save files are written
in 'hexlified' format, rather than in the raw binary format.  This
means that the auto-save files are 4.25 times bigger than they need to
be, and take 4.25 times longer to save.

Shouldn't auto-saving a file use the same hooks that save-buffer uses?
