No, it is intentional that you cannot save the image even in the
untrusted directory. It avoids the impression that there is a bug in the
sandbox (not being able to save the image anywhere) that people "work
around" by saving the image in the untrusted directory and running it
from there (which would completely defeat the purpose of all of the
mechanisms in place). If you want to live risky (i.e., save the image
with unknown code in it that will forever be part of that image) then
you have to be explicit and turn off the sandbox entirely.
