Not sure what application is being used here.  It could be that in one 
case the original file is being opened and closed, and in the other the 
save mechanism is attempting to open the original file, then delete 
that file and save a new one by the same name.  Check the inodes 
involved; do some basic file creation/deletion tests, etc.  I ran into 
this issue once years ago in a Banyan Vines (Unix-based) network with a 
particular word processor.
