Yes, this is a known bug, though not widely documented.  The 
following sentence from 'help save' applies to your case:
  "Currently there may be some problems with
  saving the game before it has been started."

Thanks for the reminder, though even better would be to submit
these to the bug tracking system so they don't promptly get 
forgotten again.
