Update: Upon testing on some other machines this is present on hardy and jaunty as well as etch and lenny, and must be a very old bug, dating at least back to etch/2.0.2. The reason other folks haven't noticed is that it only happens when "set backup" is enabled in .nanorc AND you save the file to a location not specified on the command line.
