The main download has been updated with a patch for this issue (v3.2.6.3 in Help | About | Install Info afterwards).

It's not clear to me how file|save would work differently though, as I'd have thought this would also be interfered with by the lock on the word temp file, but I'll take your word for it. I clearly don't get the conceptual difference between synchronizing and saving.
I noticed the local copy is updated although Word was used to edit the stored copy retrieved from UR - is this what the URL to the local copy is used for, namely synchronizing to the local copy as well as the stored one?

Editing a stored document that is also linked to the original external copy complicates sync a bit. The fix ensures that the temp edited copy is always favored over syncing with the other external copy.

[PS - could this also explain the problems janriff was having in his 11-16-2007 posting?]

No, that did not involve external editing and was the result of two different copies of the same .urd file in different locations getting opened at different times.

I just tried to edit my document again. This time I did nothing except open the document, edit it, save the document in word and exit word. Nothing got saved in the UR database. My confidence in this is now at rock bottom.

External document changes won't get saved in UR's stored copy until one of a) auto-save kicks in or File | Save is done (with selection still at that item), b) Tools | Save All External Documents is performed, c) the database is closed, or d) UR is exited.
