I don't remember what was the version of BiT on my system before I
upgraded. I
was on Trisquel Nabia, based on Ubuntu 20.04; now I am on
Trisquel Aramo, based on Ubuntu 22.04.
Aramo and Nabia both offering BIT 1.2.1

No idea how this can happen. I assume it wasn't BIT but an extern event
or manipulation.
The first folder can be accessed only by the user root.
The second folder is open to everyone.
Maybe you tried to migrate/move the snapshot settings from one
machine/installation to another. And while that process you switch from
root to user or the other way around?
I really don't know and think we will never know.
I suggest you again try to explain your current problem and we might
suggest a solution. I assume you will have to make some manual work on
that folders and files. BIT can't help you here.
What are the recommended permissions for /time-machine
Is this snapshot folder created by BIT running as root or by BIT running
as user?
I can not say for sure how BIT manipulate this values. But on my system
(Debian 12) roots snapshots folder persmissions are like this:
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root
and in there you find the regular "backintime" folder
drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 4096 14. Sep 2023 backintime
Looks the same for "user".
