That's a plausible analysis. I was originally pointing towards Tramp, as
the *Messages* showed things like that

> Tramp: Sending command ‘exec ssh -l <login> -e none 192.168.x.x’

i.e., since it's about ``remote'' files, it's tramp that tries to do
it, but the saving seems, as you said, be triggered by ``persist''.

I will look into that. I was so far not aware that I somehow use
org-persist (or what its purpose is). I definitely use a lot of
org-packages, and I don't load or require org-persist. The only
mentioning of "persist" in my org-adaptations is

(setq org-clock-persist t)
(org-clock-persistence-insinuate)

(though I can't remember why exactly I set that, seems also not
immediately related to tramp, more about logging).

Anyway, thanks for directing me to better also look into ``persist''.
