We are not talking about a save failure here. An image w/o changes does not need to be saved. So there is no failure here. We could make the Save action insensitive for an image that is not dirty, then it would be more obvious that it won't do anything. > A clear warning not just that one of the gargoyles on the > gate-posts fluttered one eyelid in the dark when no-one > was watching.

It doesn't even look at the file on disk. It just checks the image's dirty flag. If you dislike that behavior, there's the 'trust-dirty-flag' option that you can turn off.
