What precisely did happen between these two versions of

This almost sounds like reasonable behaviour, as it sounds
like mutt had detected that it couldn't commit the changes

Were there any messages about preserved temporary files?
When a folder can't be written back, a temporary file
containing the folder which should have been written
should be left in $TMPDIR.
