I have autobackup set to save a backup version (BBE 8.7.2). The exact
text of the preference is "Make backup *before* saving" (emphasis mine).

Well, I was editing a file off a WebDAV location and when I went to
save it, the computer hung-up. Evidently the network had become
unavailable/unstable at some point and everything got very confused.
The Finder never did come back, and I ended up rebooting. However,
BBEdit *thought* it had successfully saved the file. I quit BBedit
before I noticed anything was wrong.

However, BBedit did not, in fact, write a backup BEFORE it saved. The
backup file was a copy of the original file I had opened off the
webdav with none of the changes, and was time-stamped the same as the
original file on the WebDAV.

Now, BBEdit did not crash. In fact, BBEdit never even reported an
error. Searching the logs in /var/logs/ /Library/Logs/ and ~/Library/
Logs/ I find nothing at all about bbedit. So, why was the backup file
not made *before* saving? Has anyone else seen this kind of behavior?
(Yes, I am bccing support)

And has BBEdit 9.x restored the ability to set your backup directory
location without futzing with aliases/links?
