Mine reads the same.

I'm using GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, multi-tty) of
2005-04-06 on psycho

I think it may be a little more unique to muse, I'm suspecting this to
be what causes the behavior:

      (with-temp-buffer
        (insert-file-contents file t)
        ...

Check it out on muse-publish.el

I'm not exactly sure how, but it appears that call makes the temporary
buffer want to save the contents...
