Autosaving just relieves you from pressing ctrl+S, and the backup copies are
some kind of a copy before overwriting the document with save. Those options
are independent from repairing files.

The corruption could play a role here. Ultimately a question to devs and likely
not possible to answer without a sample.

I can follow the confusion about the word "interrupted". I guess it means "was
not successful". However, the process should work well after bug 114508 was
fixed.

Most of your confusion seems to come from the backup file. It is not meant for
recovering but as the previous version of the document. If the recovery process
fails you could manually replace the file.

Here I fully agree ;-).
