Hi Stefan,

It's been a while, but I've fixed up my patch and given it some testing, 
and it seems to work on for me. However, in the meantime, this issue has 
recently been "fixed" by special-casing write-file in ido.el, as seen in 
#28513. So if you want to install my patch now, you'll need to install 
the version attached to that thread. That version reverts the other fix, 
since of course they are not compatible, and would be redundant even if 
they were.

Regards,

Ryan Thompson
