The first represents 'save-buffer' and the second 'save-some-buffers'. So, with the change to try-completion, the user typing a 'w' no longer gets the same command s/he used to get. The workaround is to advise the function that ends up resolving this issue with a let statement temporarily rebinding completion-ignore-case to get the appropriate behavior. Also, I tried looking at the NEWS file for the newer Emacs, but everything is screwed up in the installation - the file was not found (nor are the info pages). So that's why I thought it was entirely possible that our IT department screwed things up. Every time there is an "upgrade" to the Emacs or OS, they mess something up with non-default behavior.
