I don't  remember if  it is  possible to catch  an (error  "...") with
something  like (condition-case  ...), but  if it  is, then,  the best
solution would be to catch it, and then ask the user :

"Some errors occured during saving. Quit anyway ? (y/n)"

A bit like  what happens when you refuse to  save a buffer. ("Modified
buffers exist, exit anyway ?") 

Note that this would cover any kind of errors during saving.

Or we can consider that my configuration is an exotic one and say that
the bug is not serious enough ...
