Good news: this seems fixed with this patch.  Some more comments inline.

Okay... on that note, "raco pkg install" now completely works IME
without permission errors, I should mention.  I'm still seeing a couple
of permission errors on "raco setup", but they don't look like they
matter unlike the ones that were appearing earlier.  And you're right,
I tried on Debian and got some errors too.

For the record, the ones I saw looked like this:

delete-file: cannot delete file
  path: /gnu/store/33rx7rh6q22h3r11x8prz37nl7ygfl22-racket-6.12/bin/raco

But again, I don't think they matter.

It seems good to me.  I'm going to push it.  Thanks for your work on
this!

I'll email you off-list about paying the bounty :)
