I would expect that C-x C-w would still work even though I entered a
nonsensical path (probably after hitting C-g to abort).

The bug is not that it tried to open arne <at> ftp, the bug is that I had
to kill the buffer and reopen the file to be able to use C-x C-w again.

If the recursive loading fix fixes the issue that C-x C-f does not
work anymore, then sure. Otherwise I think it would be better to keep
it open…

Yepp, generally it is really nice!

Thank you for working on it!
