Easy to add that though, and probably generally useful.
There's a projectWrite signal: http://www.qgis.org/api/classQgsProject.html#a935c811d84c51e908c73868be9b69c4 which seems to be emitted before the layers are saved, so if anything hooked into that wants to make changes it should be able to.

The only problem might be if the memory provider doesn't set the project as dirty when it changes itself. Otherwise users could do a 'quit', and then qgis quits without chance to save the project. > In terms of file location my preference would be something directly related > to the project file ..
