Actually Jmol is not behaving unusually because there are only very rare 
moments when there has nothing changed that a user might want to save 
(like an image of the current view, the state, new coordinates). How is 
Jmol supposed to know?

Nevertheless it might be useful for some users who never want to save 
anything or take the risk of loosing something to change this behaviour. 
But the current behaviour should stay the default, conforming to the 
standard at least most of the time. (I don't know if there are made some 
exceptions, but it would at least be very difficult to identify these 
cases.)
