Could we check the return value of the fprintf in line 931 (and elsewhere) in 
src/backend/file/io-gncxml-v2.c and set a QofBackendError ? (using 
qof_book_get_backend?)

xmlElemDump is a void prototype:
http://www.xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-tree.html#xmlElemDump
but in each case in io-gnc-xml-v2.c, it is followed by an fprintf.

It wouldn't be particularly specific, but it would indicate that the write 
functions failed - for whatever reason.

In QSF, I use xmlDocFormatDump which does return a negative value on error - 
although I'm not utilising that at the moment.
http://www.xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-tree.html#xmlDocFormatDump

I can check for a negative return int and set the same QofBackendError - added 
to qofbackend.h and an appropriate message in src/app-file/gnc-file.c - would 
that solve the bug?
