I am curious about how different this is from the common behavior with the wikitext editor, which will usually display a message like "Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still doesn't work, try logging out and logging back in." (not sure if this is the actual one though) and which "fixes" itself if you just retry to save.
