I have now located a bug report on this issue:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46635

It applies to other distributions besides opensuse.  Essentially, if the 
option in

Tools-Option-Load/Save-General

is set to 'Automatically save the document too', then untitled/unnamed files will go into a save 
loop every few seconds.

I have submitted a confirmation of the bug report, but cannot at the 
moment test it out on any version of Windows. Could anyone else check 
this and update the bug report?
