Twice recently I've failed to properly recover crashed Vim sessions 
because I've followed this sequence of steps:

# after crash

$ vi somefile
# Message about found swap file
# respond with 'R' for recover
ZZ - to save and quit

$ vi somefile
# Message about found swap file
# respond with 'D' to delete the swap file,
# since I just saved the recovered version
# ...except it wasn't saved

My question is:

Why isn't the file considered to be 'modified' after it's changed by the 
recovery process?  (Hence the 'ZZ' fails to save it.)
