After some review, this appears to be related to functionality in the
GTK File Chooser, designed to prevent saving files to unreadable
locations, specifilcally that gtk_file_chooser_set_filename() calls
gtk_file_chooser_select_filename, and passes the return value to the
caller (FALSE in the case of inaccessible URIs).  This then blocks
further interaction with the GTK File Chooser until some other URI is
selected.  Achieving the listed Expected behaviour may have far-reaching
consequences.

The Alternate Behaviour looks easier to accomplish with an adjustment to
totem-uri.c, by adding return code checking to
gtk_file_chooser_set_current_folder_uri shortly after around line 321.
