The solution turned out to be quite simple. Remove the WRITE access to the default project directory for my development user account. Now when I go to save, I am presented by the following dialog:
This gives me one last warning that the project doesn't yet have a home...I can now decide where to place it and what it will be called. Actually, I can't even RUN the application until it has a home...
Granted this means that there will probably be another directory with a hundred ProjectN programs... but I'll know I put them there on purpose.

Delphi 2007 has a "Default Project" location in the options. In conjunction with the option "Autosave|Editor Files" you will always get a save dialog open in the right place before running an newly-created application.
And I thought it was irritating to be at Project11.dpr! ;-)
@avenmore - I actually use the "default project" location, but it doesn't solve the problem. The point is to force me to put it someplace ELSE rather than a generic holding bucket for all projects. I am now more likely to save the project in a directory which by context would help me identify what it does, even if I don't rename it.
