There is a separate bug for Ajax page saves (I'm mobile, it's the weekend) so I don't know the bug number. But yes it would be the preferred behavior. With save button only appearing for noJS users.

Regarding the Special:Preferences page, could we consider putting the Save button at the *top-right* of the box, instead?
There are many users who are used to the modern systems like Gmail - where no manual "save" is needed, but instead happens automatically when anything is changed - and are liable to miss the Save button anywhere at the bottom, especially on longer preference pages.
In the RfC for userpreferences, I'd suggested that "The [Save button] is always visible/nearby" should be a high-priority goal. (Or, upgrading to an auto-save system). [1] Having it at the top of the window would be ideal, and possibly even top and bottom, like so: https://i.imgur.com/4Mu9UdQ.png
