Sorry to answer so late, but as promised on Dec. 1st, 2008, after the suggestion by Moritz Muehlenhoff <j...@inutil.org> dated '29 Nov 2008' ...

I now tested a 2.6.28-flavor-kernel by using Ubuntu's 9.04 alpha preview 3 (this way I didn't have to build the kernel myself and adjust it to etch'es environment and tools :-)), which uses kernel version 2.6.28-4 (built from something after 2.6.28-rc8). Here, the error still persists, only that vi doesn't just crash or exit, but now gives an error message '"filename" E212: Can't open file for writing' instead. The other behaviour is still the same though - the file is lost as its length is cut to zero and thus not even left intact. So, error messages are better, the behaviour is still the same from the original bug description and a very bad one. It didn't become any worse, though :-).
