Actually, as I've said in another mail, you do not even need to do C-z.
The file is missing after C-x C-s: if I try to look at the file from
a different terminal (a real terminal or with GNU Screen), this file
is missing. This may also be problematic for those who have automatic
backups to a remote storage area (in particular if files matching *~
are ignored for these backups).
