"operation not permitted" when running tests on Windows

When I run ghc tests on windows using "make test", I see instances of the following:

> T5442d(normal) 86 of 4093 [0, 1, 0]

cd ./cabal && $MAKE -s --no-print-directory T5442d </dev/null >T5442d.run.stdout 2>T5442d.run.stderr [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: './cabal/package.conf.T5442d.global' [Errno 90] Directory not empty: './cabal/package.conf.T5442d.global' [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: './cabal/package.conf.T5442d.user' [Errno 90] Directory not empty: './cabal/package.conf.T5442d.user' [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: './cabal/package.conf.T5442d.extra'

Not sure if these are legitimately harmful, but something is going wrong.

I am running ghc head on latest msys2. I also tried running the process as administrator to rule out permission issues due to handling symlinks.
