A solution in bug#17155 was to replace `save-buffer' with `write-region'
that is already currently used by desktop.el.  This means continuing
using low-level `write-region' would be less problematic than `save-buffer'
(and normal auto-saving of a file buffer that still requires `save-buffer'
at the end of the session).

This would be possible if the desktop file used `save-buffer' on
a normal file buffer instead of `write-region'.
