The only thing that could potentially be considered a bug about this is that
it doesn't automatically append a frame number under this situation (I
suppose it's debatable whether or not this is actually a bug, as Christoph
said).

You can manually do this - save_file concat("whatever-", str(frame_number,
-3, 0), ".png") - and you'll get files "whatever-000.png",
"whatever-001.png", etc. as desired.

Hopefully that helps somewhat. :-)
