That seems to be the problem. The service itself was registered to run under no particular account, so it assumed the default, and that default probably lacked permissions to write to disk. When running pythonservice.exe with the -debug flag, the service runs under the invoking user account, which explains why I never saw the issue in debug mode. Now I registered the service to run under my own user account and the problem went away.

Thanks!
