Can't programmatically save new document with form protection on?

K

I'm programmatically (in C++) creating and populating a Word document from a
template that contains forms and XML. In my template I select "Protect
Document"/"Editing Restrictions"/"Filling in forms" and click the checkbox,
start enforcing protection and save the template. With the checkbox checked,
the document is not saved to disk, I catch an exception, and the Word
application is minimized (yet the document "Document1" is there and
protected!); I can then save it correctly. With the checkbox unchecked (no
protection), the document is saved to disk, is named correctly, and the Word
application remains visible.

Any clue what might be happening here?
