That would be a bug. If you save as .eml, it should save exactly what's 
in your IMAP mailbox or what View as source | File | Save... saves. If 
it doesn't do that, it's a bug.

The View Source workaround may be inconvenient, but is a workaround for 
such a strong edgecase, until this bug is fixed. Don't hope for it, 
though, because TB is working on completely different things, like a 
message database.

You're welcome to file a bug, but please without political statements or 
broad generic demands. TB is geared towards comfortable writing and 
reading of human language text.

Apart from that, I can only recommend that you re-consider sending 
patches as inline attachments (Content-Disposition: inline, which is an 
official Internet Standard since many years), which is IMHO correctly 
reflecting reality, and fixing the software which can't deal with 
*that*, including inline display and quoting.
