This bug has also been reported upstream:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1098379.
It was brought to my attention that chromium ships its own copy of
fontconfig, it could be that this affects the way it writes to the
cache.
I'll test building the snap with use_bundled_fontconfig=false, let's see
if the problem goes away.
