As a player I got bitten by this once in COMI; after completing one of
the chapters, I hit the save button just as the cut scene started. The
cut scene got cancelled and it saved. I was now looking at the start of
the next chapter without ever having had a chance to see the cut scene,
and had to go back to the previous save game and replay a big chunk of
the game in order to get back to the cut scene.

So, as a player, it would have been more helpful to me for the save
option to simply be disabled at that point.
