[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Please read the WHOLE LIST OF COMMANDS I SENT in my test case.

I made the file writable in that list only to modify it. If you read the 
whole list of commands, you will see that I make it unwritable again 
before editing it with emacs. And that's exactly the problem... if the 
file isn't writable, emacs assumes that it's not checked out and not 
modified it and checks it out when you hit C-x v v, overwriting the 
changes in it.
