thanks for this bug report, I had no idea about this flakiness in the
build.

Similarly to the other bug you mention, I think the incidence of this
FTBFS is low... at least elsewhere w.r.t. your build environment. I've
personal never witnessed this, and I'm aware of a bunch of other people
who have built from scratch without issues. More to the point,
reproducible building the package is working fine on at least four
architectures, including the one you are testing on:
https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/beancount.html

On that basis, I'm lowering the priority to important.

Still, I think the bug should be fixed, and I will do so (most likely
ignoring the rm error, as that means no cleanup is needed). But I will
not necessarily do this in time for the next release.

Cheers.
