Unless there are issues I'm not aware of, we could fix this by always enabling the behavior triggered when enabling the "Create a backup copy of files before saving" option, and then removing the capability for the user to disable that functionality. (Note that this is a workaround that works the last time I tried it, and is documented.)
It'd be an easy fix.
