I also ran into this problem. It was caused by bad permissions on /tmp, which somehow survived a reboot. chown root:root /tmp && chmod 777 /tmp fixed it. Ideally, the system shouldn't be throwing such an obscure error message, and the sanity check script shouldn't be silent (or return 0) when ran a second time.
