Which vi version (or clone) are you using? Often there is an option to prevent data loss by writing the file into a new file with different name first (which is created in dir1/, since it is new), copying permission settings and then renaming it "over" the original file. So the file ends up in dir1/; there is no copyup here. Some versions even delete the original file before moving the new one in place (which is useful on systems with strange file semantics - like Windows).
