QGIS 1.5.0.2 has problem with these processes. Mac OS version can do
these operations.

Mac OS version has the same problem. It saves as sqlite, not spatialite.

Right now, "Saves As" should be avoid if we can dealing with Spatialite.

I hope this will be fixed or remove from the listbox as option.
