Fortunately, it doesn't cause the desktop file corruption,
so I created a separate bug#17927.
It seems for this bug#17351 to be closed, what remains to do is
to generate a backup copy of the desktop file. I see two ways:
1. manually write a backup file once after reading the desktop
and locking it. This solution fits into the current design
of desktop.el.
2. Use normal mechanisms of making a backup and locking
by using save-buffer instead of write-region, but this
will cause more problems (including in the recentf list, etc.)
