I think that this has basically been implemented in the years since this
was reported.

These days, Emacs will warn by popping up the *Warnings* buffer:

Error (auto-save): Auto-saving foo: Opening output file: Permission denied, /etc/#foo# Disable showing Disable logging

And you can disable these messages by clicking on the links.

So I'm closing this bug report.
