I can remember that I had problems saving stuff some weeks (months?) 
ago, but couldn't find the real cause of it. However, I don't have such 
problems since then.

Maybe this has something to do with the way JAVA works with the native 
File Save dialog on Windows, so this is a "Windows only" problem.

It might help to explicitly set the file type to "OSM server files" ...
