I suppose you could save in PhotoShop format, close the TIFF, then
open the PhotoShop format to continue working. This would allow you
to keep selecting Save without any dialog boxes. When finished, if
you need a TIFF, your last step is to Save As and select TIFF format
again. I dont know if this would involve two changes to the image
data itself, with possible degradation, or just a change in the
file format wrapped around the same image. I suspect the latter.

Hmm. Same problem. Of course they can't simply replace your EPS with
their new Photoshop file. But I agree the window name should change.
Seems arbitrary. Same workaround as above.
