[Bug 1490244] [NEW] "Print to file" silently fails

Not sure what package this bug should be filed against, but I observed
the following behaviour on my trusty box.

Open a page in firefox for example or some other document you'd like to
print to a PDF.  Ctrl+P to print. Select "Print to file".  Navigate to
the place you would to save to, let's say this was "/tmp/" for
simplicity of demonstartion.  Make sure there is a directory called
/tmp/test.pdf (I know this is silly, but it actually happens quite often
accidentally by how selecting a folder and file name are presented in
these dialogs).  Save the file now as test.pdf.  You should receive a
warning now that /tmp/test.pdf already exists (the directory) and
whether you want to overwrite it. Choose Yes.  You'd expect the file to
be created now, but actually that is not the case.

** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu)
