Nope, it's back. Sometimes this happens and sometimes not. When it happens, the hang is indefinite but interruptible with C-g. Write-file gives the same problem. In a session when it happens, it always happens. Changing the permissions of the directory to that of the user owning the file allows for the save. I do sometimes see the message about saving to the homedir.
