This has not been my experience. "Save as shapefile" saves in the same 
projection as the original, not in the project projection.
However the fTools extension with "Define projection" and "Export to New 
projection" work nicely. I just make sure to first define the current 
projection for the source layer, and after run the export to a new 
shapefile in the target projection.
