When you 'save as', the editor don't rename file. It obviously
*creates* new file and then deletes old one. So the bug doesn't appear.

You renamed a file which already had a mangled short name, so the
bug does not appear too. (I'm quite sure short name did not change, but
as it is different from old file name, it is ok) 

Try this:
	echo a > 12345678.901
	ren 12345678.901 12345678.901suffix
	echo b > 12345678.901
	type 12345678.901suffix

(just tried and it showed the bug)
