I'll bet that's intended behavio(u)r - note that -saveold- also does not
change the name of the current dataset, as displayed by -describe-, such
that a subsequent -save, replace- resaves NOT the name given for
-saveold-, but rather the original name. Since -saveold- can be
destructive, that's not unreasonable behaviour -- in other words,
-saveold- acts more like -outfile- than like -save-.

Recently I got confused by the fact that I saved a file using saveold and
the name of the file did not change on the upper bar (Stata/IC 11.0 -
C:\Data...) after using saveold, try this example
sysuse auto
saveold automo
