At the very moment the OP got "frustrated", the buffer was apparently
_unmodified_ since otherwise Emacs would have refused to auto-revert it.
Hence, the problem seems not in losing any changes.

Yes, but why should that matter here? BTW, `wdired' also resets
`buffer-undo-list'. The important aspect is that as long as a user is
in `wdired-mode', buffer-modified status and `buffer-undo-list' should
faithfully reflect the user's editing steps.
Did you try my `buffer-read-only' patch? I use neither `dired' nor
`auto-revert-mode'.
