Good idea, although it would have been recognised much earlier during
nearly every normal system operation:
-------
root@micha:/tmp# set -o | grep noclobber
noclobber off
-------
strace is a fantastic idea, but it seems to fail on the lowest level
"EACCES (Permission denied)":

I disabled file system caching by remounting rootfs with "sync" option,
but that didn't help either. Other file systems with UNIX permissions
are outstanding: F2FS, Btrfs, XFS, NTFS with 3g driver, will try that as
well.
I btw reported the issue to the testing list now, which seems to be the
better place to report unspecific issues with Bullseye. Although the
list is not very active :\. Let's see, my mail did not appear yet:
