There are plenty of reasons to save again even without modifying the document - including: what if you delete the file on disk by mistake? Then you want to be able to save again from the application. There's no reason to prevent saving.
OK I can follow this argument. You may want to consider, that beside the window titel "... modified" there is no more visual hint, that a file is changed and hence needs saving. the task bar might not be visible or the application is hidden in the stack if the taskbar is full. May be the filesave icon could/should change form/color indicating that saving is necessary. I think about a filesave icon with a little "document open" symbol. (similar to folder_open or project_open or fileclose or vcs_commit)
Retitling and making it a wishlist.
