I've tried to correct this in
address@hidden/muse--main--1.0--patch-137 by wrapping
evaluation of lisp tags in condition-case, much like emacs-wiki does.

I really detest that behavior.  In the most recent patch, I've worked
around it by making a new macro called
`muse-with-temp-buffer-no-prompt' that should *never* prompt for
saving when its buffer is killed.  Emacs should implement this
behavior by default, IMNSHO.
