Emacs ignores modified state of "untitled" buffer

Hello,

we have a user who wants to always open Emacs with a new "untitled" buffer so 
he can start writing right away without having to think of a file name first 
(similar to a "New Document" feature in Mac and Windows programs). If we try 
this in site-start.el:

(generate-new-buffer "untitled")
(switch-to-buffer "untitled")

we are almost there - Emacs starts with the new "untitled" buffer. However, if 
he then exits Emacs, Emacs does not warn about a modified buffer and potential 
data loss, although the buffer is marked dirty. How can we get the usual 
behaviour for this new buffer?

Many thanks in advance,
 Stefan
