'gpolo' has opened 55 issues; 4 marked for Idle. Possibly more are for 
Idle but not so marked. Feel free to check and inform me (put me on the 
nosy list if not already and say 'This is an Idle issue' on the issue). 
Most of the rest are, I believe, for tkinter. Of the Idle issues, 3 are 
closed. The 1 open issue appears to be one of the things you mention above.

http://bugs.python.org/issue6699
IDLE: Warn user about overwriting a file that has a newer version.

If Roger thinks it OK, he can apply it, or I will look at it eventually.
