I last looked at it a few seconds ago to verify that it still reads as I
originally posted it, and indeed it still reads:

    Emacs makes a backup for a file only the first time the file is
    saved from a buffer.

To repeat the original issue, this is not the behaviour I observe: There
are cases where the file is saved from a buffer, and Emacs does not make
a backup. I previously posted an example in this thread, and I hope you
find it useful. Thank you a lot!
