I found out, that if you type anything in the editor window (let it be 
text or just moving cursor, or clicking in the windw) quickly after the 
file was saved, the file is reported as changed (and thus the reload 
message is issued).
That also means if you wait long enough, the reload message doesn't appear.

By debugging I found, that the time frame is the time between saving and 
the return of file_monitor_changed_cb() (in document.c) (which is IIUC 
polled every few seconds, so the time frame is variable).
That said, GIO reports G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_CHANGED if the typing has 
taken place between saving and the regular file status update, even 
though the file as is hasn't been changed after saving.

This is a bit weird, since saving files explicitly sets the file status 
to FILE_IGNORE, which should result in ignoring 
G_FILE_MONITOR_EVENT_CHANGED.

Apparently, typing within the mentioned time frame gets FILE_IGNORE 
removed, before GIO is polled.

I have no idea yet, where the issue is, but I'm sure (I hope) Enrico 
will find it quickly with this information :)

Taking this into account, the patch I supplied was rather shit ;)
