I can't reproduce this in Oneiric; gnome-screenshot's save dialog seems to work differently (better/correctly too).

Start gnome-screenshot. 2. Choose a save directory, but type it into the "Location" box. Don't choose a folder by clicking to it (that doesn't seem to trigger this bug). 3. Notice that the chosen save directory is shown in the "Save in folder" area, then press "Save". 4. The new file is saved into the home directory (or whatever directory gnome-screenshot has last considered valid), not the chosen directory.
