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.
