[Xastir] dbfawk bug?

I was working on some shapefiles while editing dbfawks with emacs. For
those of you unfamiliar with emacs, it keeps a checkpoint (called an
auto-save) in #filename#, so while editing
dlg-24k-shapefile-LE01.dbfawk it creates
#dlg-24k-shapefile-LE01.dbfawk# . This checkpoint file goes away once
the file is saved normally.
So, I'm editing a dbfawk and have one of these #filename# files, and
"add new maps". xastir dies with
.#dlg-24k-shapefile-LE01.dbfawk: failed to parse
Tried to start xastir again and it died with the same error.
I got rid of the checkpoint file and all is well, but this isn't
terribly friendly behavior.
