Two points:

 - We should not advertise "store" (and "create" for that matter) in
   the end-user facing documentation.  IIRC, "git stash -h"
   deliberately omits 'create'; having it in the documentation is
   unavoidable, but it was a mistake that it was not marked with
   "this is most likely not what you want to use; see 'save'".

   It may even be better with a leading underscore or two in the
   name that clearly marks it as "not meant for direct end-user
   consumption".

 - The error message store_stash() gives should not be hardcoded in
   that function.

   Save-stash may want to keep saying 'the current status' as it
   said before, but a caller like your rebase-autostash will not be
   saving the "current" status and would want to have a different
   message.

Other than that, the overfall structure of the patch looks OK to me.
