The fact that only one sheet gets saved is entirely expected, but the other two
behaviours to me were totally counter-intuitive:
 (1) hitting ctrl-S might save something completely different from the previous
ctrl-S, depending on what's on the screen at the time;
 (2) a document is happy to let itself be closed while it had unsaved
modifications in it.

Both of these are highly non-standard behaviours for any desktop app, and I
would dispute that "everybody knows that that will happen". I've been using

That's not what I wish for. ;o) I just expect that if I've got a document open,
and I try to close it while it has unsaved modifications, then I get a warning.
This doesn't happen.

That would solve the problem I'm describing perfectly — the .csv file would
contain a single sheet, but the remaining multi-sheet document would still be
saved as a .ods (or .xls or whatever).

+1 for removing "Save as .csv" and creating "Export to .csv" instead.

There's no reason to "Export to .xls" instead of "Save as .xls" — why would you
want to do that?

Yeah, you do, you just suggested it above, and I +1'ed it!
