hmm... now I'm not so certain the patch actually did what we
wanted. In fact, reading the code, I see that saveChanges is called
when bind_saveChanges_to_zope_transactions is true, and _finish is
called on the ECProxy. AFAICT, saveChanges is *not* called on session
destruction unless that property is set, and then it is called at
every request end, right?

Pass me the paper bag :(
