I can confirm that this happens to me quite often as well. My files are mounted via SMB (samba) from a linux server. More often than not, the 'modified' dialog comes up right after I choose "File->Save" or cmd-S a file that I've modified. If I choose 'reload from disk' then my changes are lost. If I choose the other option, my file is intact but not saved. Saving the file a second time usually works.
