Well, in ML TextEdit it works as "Save As ..." did: I have a TextEdit document saved on my desktop. I open it Choose Save As from the File menu (holding down the option key) I get a dialog where I choose a destination directory (say Desktop too) and enter a new name Click Save I'm now editing my newly saved variant of my document which is on my desktop.
That is the way I would expect it to be - what "awful mess" do you understand it to be causing? I think that, like the reverse scrolling, when you understand what Lion and even more so, ML are doing with documents, it makes sense. Perhaps it's time to let go of the way we've been editing and saving documents for almost 30 years for something perhaps rather better? I prefer the new way.
