Game over in permadeath but game not saved?

Vanilla beta 18 - my permadeath colony died and I saw the "game over" window, the "story is over" one.
I clicked on "back to menu".
After reloading the savegame, a previous auto-saved savefile was loaded: it seemed that pressing "back to menu" didn't save the game.
It is the first time it happened to me, in more than 170 hours.
I don't know if it can be related, but previously, while playing the same colony, my pc shutdown.
Luckly, the auto-save feature created a savegame just few minutes before, so I loaded it and I suppose (not 100% sure) that I was playing this auto-saved session when my colony died.

I'm sorry if I was unable to fully explain what happened, feel free to ask more details if needed.

I did some tests and now I can confirm that every time the game is over and you decide to go back to menu, game is not saved, even if permadeath is on.
I don't think it is intended, because I expect that permadeath should also force you to accept that game is over, and all pawns are death, instead of giving you the ability to reload the last auto-saved file.
