Ah, you know, that could be it. The latest Arch kernel has SELinux
enabled by default. But previously I had an SE-enabled kernel that I
used occasionally for playing around with music apps. I haven't kept
very close track, but in hindsight it seems like the times when my
permissions got lost could have corresponded to the times I booted with
that kernel.

As for what to do about it, there is now a set of config files in
/etc/security that could be the key. I'll have to learn more about those.
