LO Writer won't save to specified default save directory

LO Writer refuses to save documents to the specified directory (B:, a ramdrive), instead always reverting to <C:\Users%Username%\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\4\user\template>.

It used to work correctly but fails with the current install (v.25.8.0.4)…

Probably tdf#167388

Please read the original report, not only the subject.
The bug only afflicts new documents.
