There are two issues here:
The first is when you want to *store* a link to a file-less buffer,
using `C-c l'.
This should be an error, because links are for the future and if there
is no file, there is no point linking to it. Org-mode is throwing
an error, but there is a bug if the file-less buffer is in org-mode.
The second problem is the one you describe. I am fixing it in the way
you propose.
Both problems fixed for 4.54. Thanks for the report.
