I've got the same problem with this file:

The problem might be related to that comment:

We still autosave annotations internally as usual, unless the PDF document
contains existing embedded annotations and it's not encrypted. In this case,
you'll be shown a warning ("Your annotation changes will not be saved
automatically. Use File -> Save As... or your changes will be lost once the
document is closed") and a "Do you want to save your annotation changes or
discard them?" prompt on document close.

If it were the case, I have no way to know if the file does have embedded
annotations, it wouldn't actually be a bug.

However this saving of annotations in external XML files is very, very
convenient because it provides both persistent annotations and unmodified
original file, and the fact that it's not possible for some files is a
hindrance.

The status could be changed to confirmed and the importance to wishlist (if
it's actually the non buggy behavior described above).
