I’ll bite. Please reread Mattheiu’s message. Pay particular attention to the lines In the first case, emacs will just tell you "no change need to be saved" and quit, in the second, it'll quit. and Try deleting the file in the meantime, it won't change the behavior. and consider what this means about what is happening and the resulting stat() information. It is a bit frustrating to read this thread because Mattheiu was not the first thing to say this (and many have mentioned other problems, too, such as people’s muscle memory), but you do not seem to respond to them. Instead, you keep repeating the same thing...
