It also happens to me to mistype a buffer/file name, and I like the current behaviour better than the old one. However I think it would make a better habit to assign something like C-RET or M-RET to "force create a new buffer/file", and always present a y-or-n-p for plain RET when the entered buffer/file-name does not exist. Also, maybe auto-insert can advise the y-or-n-p used there to something that asks for: y,e (empty, no auto-insert), n (cancel), a,i (for auto-insert), s (select which template to insert), ? (help).
