This same behavior also causes other problems - for example, it has the
side-effect of resetting permissions and extended attributes, every
time the file is saved.

Is there a reason for this behavior? Why can't it just try to overwrite
the file in-place, like most other editors? The only obvious reason
would be for atomicity (so that it doesn't write half the file and then
fail); for which a better solution - again, adopted by some existing
programs - would be to save a backup copy of the *old* version until
it's done all it can to get the new version on disk.
