That would be better than having it right next to it, but I'm still pretty wary about it.

It's pretty difficult to convey this warning information very well - too short of a message can be too cryptic and not explain things enough. Too long of a message tends to make people ignore the whole message.
So I don't quite like to rely on this kind of warning message.
The side effect of saving to the wrong kind of 3DM file and thinking you had all your full data safe could be pretty catastrophic...

So you mean actually modify the file name that the user types into the file save box and stick _mesh at the end?
That kind of file name alteration might be kind of weird for the case where someone was mainly wanting to generate the mesh file...
The way that might be less weird overall could be to have a plug-in that would do this, it could be something like a "ExportMesh3DM" command that you could install and access from a plug-in menu in the future at some point when I've got a menu for such things set up. That would keep it more totally separated from the regular save mechanism.
