MacOS 10.15 Catalina fails to modify Documents

I've been testing out the new MacOS 10.15 beta and keep seeing an error when running installers that modify files and folders in the user's Documents folder. When I de-select the installations that modify ~/Documents, the installers always succeed.


Sometimes the error manifests as a failure while preparing to install, sometimes the installer fails during the post-installation steps, when chown and chmod are used to change file ownership/permissions in the Documents folder.


The failure doesn't usually occur on a fresh installation--typically it happens after running a different version of the installer, or even an identical copy of the first installer. The failure only occurs when the installer is double clicked--it never occurs when run headless or in the debugger.

Does anyone know what might be going on, or have advice on how to debug? Thanks!
