You should fix the editor; that behavior is dangerous for other reasons,
similar to the ones outlined here:

In essence, if you're going to be editing service configurations on a
live system, you should make sure your editor does not do this.
In vim or emacs it's just a 'set backupdir' or 'setq
backup-directory-alist' away.
