This is clearly not a VM bug.  Please report this in the
gnu.emacs.bug group.  There isn't anything I can do about it.

I have experienced the problem you mention and it seems unrelated
to buffer in question being buried, and indeed not related to
autosaving.  The bug was traced to an interrupted write() system
call, with the interrupt being caused by typeahead.

I don't know if it is fixed in 18.58 or not.
