Where are you trying to save the qml file? Do you have access write to the folder?
Have you tried it in another platform. It works fine for me.

Just discovered after putting the bug track in that the layer in question was an ODBC generated one. So while the 'bug' is technically still valid, it is also pretty irrelevant except in this obscure case. Besides, it is easily got around by using a shape or other layer file to generate the style file and then apply it to the odbc layer.

An older issue shows that you can't save a style file from a CSV layer on Windows. It's still present in 2.10.1: issue #8285.
