I presume that would be caused by a user1's umask setting that does not set group write permissions on newly created files.

I get exactly the same result. In this case a file is first written by user1, member of "staff" group. Then user2 opens it, adds an edit, and tries to save. The backup (using the joe editor) shows up with user2's ownership: -rw-rw-r-- 1 user1 staff 4 2011-04-19 14:23 dog -rw-r--r-- 1 user2 staff 4 2011-04-19 14:24 dog~ But the save fails with "Error opening file" from the editor.
