If BBDB is using some hooks in the background, it can read and modify bbdb-file (using bbdb-buffer) without ever creating the *BBDB* buffer. So a solution could be to check for the auto-save file only when bbdb-file is actually read. Under normal circumstances, this should happen only once. If the user has multiple instances of BBDB running in parallel (via multiple emacs sessions), these files and buffers can also get out of sync. Such a situation is asking for trouble.
