It's environment specific rather than document specific. The following steps should replicate the situation I have under Linux:
1 Create a document and save it. 2 Change the file permissions from the command line so the file cannot be written to. 3 Make a change and attempt to save the document, this results in an error. 4 Change the permissions back. 5 Save as with the same file name, and the operation fails as the document is now considered opened in read-only mode. The same problem probably manifests if a write-protected file is opened, the permissions relaxed, and then saved in the same location. The bug is that once a file is found to be read-only, the condition is never checked again, rather than checked at each save as it should be.

The workaround is to save a second copy, then save over the first again.
