And back to the topic:

I can understand the move of these two functions (closeall and
permaview) to the backstagebar from a design point. (also have been
messing with these)...but I think they should not belong to a
backstage that is (or can be) hidden.

Some thoughts about what might be distracting for readers and content:
The sidebar
The backstage
The toolbar (function "view"....reader is already "viewing")
Multiple tiddlers v.s single page (close others and closeall are
related here)

How I use backstage:
Importing (on space: including spaces, users and switching spaces)
Plugin management (but mostly via tag systemConfig)
Sync

How I use closeall (mostly closeothers from the toolbar ) and
permaview:
Open some tiddlers
Rearrange these so my story is ordered as desired (with the
RearrangeTiddlersPlugin) (bookmarklet mostly)
Hit permaview
Copy the link from the address bar
Paste somewhere (groups, mail etc.)

What I would like to see is that these functions are not in the
backstage....(I saw the last dev where the icons where placed on the
right side of backstage)..
....but as a small panel (same place ...right-top) on a semi
transparent background. So it is always visible (with and without
backstage) and sticky to the top when scrolling down.

For the viewer/reader:
When in singlepage mode the closeall function seems confusing... so I
suggest only permaview in such case
However...the search-function does not work single-page-ish because of
function "openall".

!!The permaview should pop up the created link someway and a "copy to
clipboard" function/button must be presented...

For the writer:
newtiddler
closeall
permaview
(and all the other functions in tw .... savechanges etc.)

...just thinking loud....
