Although I cannot read Japanese, I strongly suspect the key to the error
is found in the following extract from the HTML dump:

<div
class='previewnote'><p><strong>セッションが切断されたため編集を保存できません。もう一度やりなおしてください。それでも失敗する場合、ログアウトしてからログインし直してください。</strong>
</p></div>

My guess is that this is the Japanese equivalent of the English string
"Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data.
Please try again. If it still doesn't work, try logging out and logging
back in."

Once a bot starts getting this response on a page save, it will get it
forever as far as I can tell, so ignoring the PageNotSaved error and trying
again won't work.  But stopping the bot and starting again often clears the
problem.  I haven't been able to figure out what triggers this response (it
may be a server-side bug, not client-side, in which case there is nothing
we can do about it here, but I'm not even sure of that yet).

It's difficult when you have the HTML code to take a look, without is
almost impossible... Filnik
