  As I said, I don't understand why you visit the file.  If you
want to have a plain temporary buffer, and don't worry about
saving it or not, just don't visit the file, IMHO.

  Yeah, it could be usefull for debugging purpose to see what the
buffer looks like at the error throwing.  Great idea.  IMHO, you
can use the value of 'debug-on-error', which says, more or less,
"I'm or not in the debugging fashion".
