The text file you edited in step 4 is just some auxiliary text data, that only exists in memory, it is not associated with a document in the sense of the document architecture, so it is also not savable data. After you have chose Reopen, it is saved to a .bib file which you then edit in the usual way, associated to a document that can be saved.

Is that correct? If so, it seems pretty misleading to title that window "Edit Source: master.bib".

That's correct. The Edit Source means that you are editing the raw bibtex source *data*. It does not men that you are editing the original bibtex file.
