bpy.ops.wm.save_homefile() operator sets the current open file as the default file.

In BlenderFDS3 (www.blenderfds.org) I would like to automatically set a different file as default, so I tried:

class WM_OT_bf_set_bf_homefile(bpy.types.Operator):

  bl_label = "Open and Set Default Settings"
  bl_idname = "wm.bf_set_bf_homefile"
  bl_description = "Set default settings for BlenderFDS"

  def execute(self, context):
      bf_default_filepath = sys.path[0] + "/blenderfds/bf_default.blend"
      bpy.ops.wm.open_mainfile(filepath=bf_default_filepath, load_ui=True, use_scripts=True)
      bpy.ops.wm.save_homefile()
      self.report({"INFO"}, "Default settings loaded")
      return {'FINISHED'}

But this does not work: the context.window is destroyed by open_mainfile, and save_homefile complains about the wrong context.

Is this a bug or a missing feature? I let you judge.
Thank you in advance.
