It's a vi bug: ":w filename" doesn't reset the editing-file file name, but
it does reset the flag vi uses to tell whether you've modified the file since
you started.  (Type ^G [or :f] to see.)  Since ZZ (which is equivalent to
":x") checks this flag, if you haven't made other changes, vi forgets to
write the original file again.
