[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

--text follows this line--

Given:
    1) Starting with -Q _does exhibit the problem_ but I can't 
reconfigure just now
    2) I don't use client mode
    3) (save-abbrevs 'silently) ;; is required to exhibit problem

M-x edit-abbrev
Make any arbitrary change
C-x C-s                                    ;; save the changes
M-x  kill-buffer                     ;; optional
M-: abbrevs-changed  yields  t       ;; flag is still set despite 
changes being saved

Click the application [x] (top right corner of the frame) to exit Emacs.

Expectation:
    Since there are no unsaved changes, Emacs should exit normally.
    Even if the changes are somehow technically still considered 
unsaved (although
I can't see why) the save should still be silent.  Or, in the case of 
(save-abbrevs t)
there doesn't seem to be a way to tell that it's the abbrevs that want 
saving so
deciding how to answer is a dilemma.

What actually happens:
    Emacs prompts if I want to save unsaved changes before quitting but 
gives no
indication of what changes are outstanding.  No buffers are visiting 
files so
troubleshooting was arduous until I noticed the correlation with 
abbrev-mode.

As a temporary fix I did this:

(defadvice abbrev-edit-save-buffer (after my-abbrev-edit-save-buffer 
last activate)
  "Insure that abbrevs-changed is reset after abbrevs are saved."
  (setq abbrevs-changed nil)
)

I see no drawbacks to the setq being in abbrev-edit-save-buffer since 
the target
file in that function is the canonical abbrev-file-name. Otherwise, only the
abbrev--possibly-save hook on save-some-buffers-functions ever resets it.
