This rather looks like a problem in the filesystem (access rights: 
owner, mode, posix ACLs, ...) than a wiki or wiki acl / superuser 
related problem.

Maybe just remove the 
/usr/share/moin/wikiinstance/data/pages/SuperUser(2f)MoinEditorBackup
directory completely and try again.

It just uses another page for the backup then (or doesnt make a backup 
at all).

Please check if that is really the case for THAT path mentioned above. 
And maybe use your web server user "apache" as owner, not root (although 
it should be ok with the group rights).
