I see chmod-ing this directory appear in the build logs:

Creating rootfs...
chmod +r work/var/spool/ftp/hidden
/bracket/obj4/tooldir.NetBSD-9.99.92-amd64/bin/nbmakefs -M 1751121920 -m 1751121920			 -B 1234					 -F work.spec -N work/etc				 						 -o bsize=16384,fsize=2048,density=8192				 work.rootfs work

So I guess if the previous step fails, you can't rm the directory.

pgoyette pointed out that my symlink is also a file, and I hope fixing
this is enough to fix all the cryptic issues.
