Empty buffer names

Yesterday I used the command write-file (^X^W) on a buffer to make a copy
in another directory. I entered only the directory name, which caused the
write to fail. After that the buffer name appeared to be empty. It was
impossible to select the buffer from the buffer menu or to swith to the
buffer interactively; the only thing I could do was eval (switch-to-buffer "")
I think this behaviour in undesirable and thus a bug. I would even
recommend that in case you use a directory name, the original file
name is appended to it.
