And the repo is not on a separate fs, but also on XFS?

borg <= 1.2.0 had a bug (or rather "unpretty behaviour") and the fix
introduced that chmod you see in the traceback (in borg 1.2.1).
The tmp file you see there is created by borg right before it gets
written to, chmoded and renamed over the old config file. This is to
avoid empty or partially written config files in case something goes
wrong. The rename op is atomic, so you either keep the old config file
or you will have the new config file, but other states are not possible.
And as a file owner, one is allowed to chmod ones own files.
The chmod is because the python stdlib "make a tempfile" code uses very
strict permissions on the temp file. But in the end, we want the mode to
look like on a normally created file (which is 666 & ~umask).
