Could you compare the time on your computer with the time on the
remote host?  Or, immediately after you save a file, look at it in
dired to see the timestamp?

I think I've seen things like this when the clock on the remote host
was significantly ahead of my time (by several minutes).  When I try
to save, I get a backtrace somewhat like this (sorry, this is from
21.2, since that's the only machine with access to a misconfigured
clock right now... I'll try a better backtrace when I get to work).

I don't know why it complains about a keyboard macro, but it does.
