It is not normal for Emacs to write auto-save files in emacs.d. If I'm not mistaken, the autosave files used to be written to the home dir; Not normally. now apparently there is a new separate dir created in the home dir for that purpose. Not normally. So I think you must have done something unusual. That is why I need a precise recipe for how to make this happen. 4. Though I don't have time to do this myself right now, what I would suggest to try to reproduce this bug is this: Run with a home dir that contains an .emacs.d directory that you do not have any of rwx on. Put emacs into a state where it wants to autosave something. See what happens. What happens is it works fine and puts these files in the usual place, which is not in emacs.d.
