Well, it turns out that I’m absolutely wrong.

I just checked the documentation:

(It was last updated in 2012, so this is not some new change.)

Autosave-in-place *is* supposed to update an already-saved document in place. 
There is no separate autosave, and the correct way to go back is to use the 
versions browser. There is also no “Don’t Save” button in a do-you-want-to-save 
dialog. It’s a “Revert Changes” button instead. The “don’t save” concept has 
just gone away in such apps.

Either I never knew this, or I knew this but forgot since the last time I 
worked on an autosavesInPlace==YES app.
