Well, you're changing the document on disk from another application,
without warning BBEdit.  Turn-about is fair-play.  ;-)

But these are changes that you had already saved.  They're just being saved
again when the document is closed.  It's not optimal, but it explains the
lack of a warning.

Perhaps BBEdit needs a "[File] changed on disk..." warning, as in Emacs.
