Comment (by macca8):

 FWIW, autosaving works correctly with the 4-CD English version on macOS.

 Having said that, your screenshot displays an intentional "fake" Autosave
 entry - basically a place holder - created by the game to preserve the
 Autosave slot for future use.

 The Autosave.m3s file is created later, when an actual autosave is
 performed, or, alternatively, if the user selects the entry and clicks
 Save (only possible from the game's own Save screen).

 This fake entry appears if, when the user enters the Save/Load screens, an
 autosave has not yet been performed, and the user has already created a
 save. Normally, this only occurs early in the game, but if the Autosave
 file is deleted (why would you do that?), then the fake entry will be
 reinstated under the same conditions.
