https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1673198 points out that if

no such general problem with save/save-as to overwrite the original
document)

Given how we cache and re-read external stuff like images, perhaps at one point in time, we could end up reading from

the same file that we are writing to during the export process?

Which depending on the order of the operations, is a bug that might only show up on an OS like Windows, which does not

have an inode-based filesystem.
