So I assume you have bbdb-file-remote-save-always bound to nil,
which means BBDB asks to save the remote file.
Isn't it equally annoying if almost always you need to say "no, do not
save the remote file"?

I am confused.  You started this thread by saying

Now you say you do not use `bbdb-file-remote'.  So it's not quite clear
to me for which usage pattern you are seeking a solution in what way.
It seems to me that all this is so specialized that it really falls
outside the BBDB machinery.

(It still seems to me that the bbdb-file-remote machinery could be
declared obsolete and your particular use case would find a better
solution, say, using `bbdb-after-save-hook' when you can do whatever you
like.)
