If you can do a save while a capture is still in progress (a save, not an "export specified packets"), that sounds like a bug, unless it somehow manages to have the capture being done switch from writing to the temporary file to the resulting saved file (unless the "save" just means moving the file from the temporary directory to another directory and renaming it), and does *not* end up causing the "finish" callback to be called.
