I tried to use "save /dev/null" in a system filter once,
and also came up with problems (can't recall if they were the
same as yours). However, I think you can get around the
problem by using "seen finish" instead of "save /dev/null":

The message is then simply ignored, rather than being saved
(whether or not to /dev/null).

Hope it works for you too.
