That is odd.  If this isn't the latest release or the tip of master, you
should upgrade and try again, even if that isn't super likely to change
anything, assuming your version is not very old.

I wonder if the directories have ever been created and removed on the
local machine.

I wonder if they are empty after the upgrade process.

You didn't mention OS, filesystems, use of NFS/CIFS, etc.

It would be great if you could turn this into a reproduction script, and
of course trying may cause you to figure out something else about the
situation, which currently has a lot of unknowns.

We really should have a facility to print out the archive files.
