 Start new project (project CRS is set to WGS84); [[BR]]
 Add some vector data source with different CRS (e.g. EPSG:25884); [[BR]]
 Launch Vector (fTools)-> Geometry-> Export/Add geometry colums; [[BR]]
 Select added vector as input, specify output and press OK. [[BR]]

 Resulting shapefile has correct coordinate data in database columns, still
 shapefiles CRS is defined as WGS84 but data (vector point coordinates)
 still have same values as in input data source (i.e. EPSG:25884). Thus
 anyone who forgets to enable "CRS change on fly" option gets bogous
 shapefile as result. Using source CRS for destination when "on the fly"
 reprojection is not enabled is a safe fail-back mechanism in such cases.

 Tested on QGIS 1.4.0 r12103M with fTools 0.5.10.
