Exactly a good reason not to ditch the setting; Obviously, Cocoa and 
Finder have some issues with eachother at times, and this is another 
one. Especially tricky is the case (which probably rarely happens 
except on remote drives) where you have +w on the file but not on its 
directory. I believe TM will fall back to non-atomic writes in this 
case?
