Periodically, I get the message:
,----
| Auto-save off (in this buffer)
`----
In the mode-line. It doesn't seem to be based on the file type. What
determines this?

Thanks,

>From the "Auto-Save Files" node in emacs info:
When you delete a substantial part of the text in
a large buffer, auto save turns off temporarily in
that buffer. This is because if you deleted the
text unintentionally, you might find the auto-save
file more useful if it contains the deleted text.
To reenable auto-saving after this happens, save
the buffer with `C-x C-s', or use `C-u 1 M-x
auto-save'.

How is that implemented? The message reported by Jeffery only occurs in
lisp/files.el, and is only shown if auto-save-mode is called interactively.

Actually, it was occuring when first visiting a file.
