Note that it may be asking about _different_ buffers, not just current.
That's because auto-save-mode saves all the buffers, not just current :)

I think I fixed this now.
May you try the latest version of the same branch?

I cannot reproduce. May you create a small example file and explain how
to trigger the problem you are seeing?

This is curious, but I again have no clue. Maybe the new version of the
branch works a bit better.
