Strange behaviour of newly 'saved as' project

Description

You have an original project myFile.qgs that you save as myNewFile.qgs
You can see that you are working now on myNewFile.qgs

You make changes in this new project. When you save it, you get the confusing message that the "Project file was changed ...." (see enclosed picture). The file referred to is the original qgs one, not the new one (you can compare dates and times). If you say ok and carry on saving the newly file is changed, not the old one (expected behaviour).
