The bug is that is uses buffer-size to determine the size of the file,
without taking into account the fact that
write-region-annotate-functions can add lot of stuff to the file that's
not in the buffer's text.

The simplest fix is to simply always output the message rather than only
for files larger than 50KB.
The more difficult one is to move the message from save-buffer to
write-region.
