I was planning to make the same code change to several projects, so I
opened a few Console 2 tabs and ran "emacs -nw README.md" in each of
them. I began making my changes to the REAMDE.md's in emacs and hit
C-x C-s to save. I would close emacs with C-x C-c and try to cat the
README.md's, but no such file was saved. No temporary files remained.
For each file, I had to start writing it all over again.

I suspect that somehow, multiple "emacs -nw" calls are interfering
with each other.

No, they don't.  I just tried.

If you can reliably reproduce that, report the recipe for that using
"M-x report-emacs-bug RET".  It is best to try reproducing this
without any non-standard software such as Console 2 (after all, each
tab there is just another instance of the shell, so just opening
several shell windows should be enough to show the problem).

And make sure to try it with "emacs -q", to see if it's something 
optional that you load that's causing it.
