Identify a spell that just targeted you - DC = 25 + spell level
You are walking down the road and feel a tingle. You're expecting your buddy to scry on you to check up, but are also afraid some ruffian is trying to paralyze and mug you.

Analogy to the FAQ would seem to suggest that if you're expecting to forgo your save vs a scrying, but it turns out to be a hold person, you get to make a save - much as if you drink a potion expecting to forgo your save vs cure light wounds, and it turns out to be poison, you get to make a save.
That said, analogy is a bit shaky.
