Thanks for bringing this up, I've often meant to but never got around to actually doing so. I often experience this same phenomenon. Also, I save as binary, not text, as "foo.pat". Also, I'm not sure if the result I get is "foo35.pat" or "foo.pat35" - it hasn't happened in the last few days, and I don't have any remaining examples of those files to look at.

Also, for further specification of the problem, it appears as though the "foo.pat" file *does* have the saved changes in it - my guess is that the "foo35.pat" type files are just temp files that for some reason are not disposed of properly upon patcher saving...

Mac OS 10.4.7, Max/MSP 4.5.7. No Jitter involved.
