There is a workaround that should allow you to download your homework.

Click "File... --> Copy Worksheet", then download the copy of the
worksheet that you get.

P.S. This is indeed a genuine bug in the notebook server. The server log shows:

---------------
File "/sagenb/sage_install/sage-4.8-sage.math.washington.edu-x86_64-
Linux/devel/sagenb-git/sagenb/storage/filesystem_storage.py", line

f.write(old_heading + g.read())
