:e is essentially equivalent to "file open" in other editors -- so
when you use the command :e without a file name it opens (reloads) the
current file (see more on the command using :help :e)

What you are running into is that Vim has no way to automatically knew
the filetype of your file unless it can do so by recognizing the file
extension (or a modeline at the beginning or end of a file). So when
you start a new file and save it with the proper extension, the :e
reloads the file, recognizes the type, and Vim acts accordingly. In
other words, it does the same thing that you are doing when you set
the filetype automatically...
