Unbeatable directory leftover from python313 'make test'

[ci4ic4 <ci4ic4%proton.me@localhost>]

Hi, 

A few days ago I was testing lang/python313 'make test', to see if it panics under the then- current aarch64 system. I don't remember exactly what happened at the time, I was distracted by something else, it didn't complete but whether it gave a panic or froze and I reset the VM -I am not sure. Today I tried 'pkgclean', which failed. It turned out that in the python313 work directory there was a subdirectory, result of a test, which I was not able to remove - any attempt to access it results in 'Operation not permitted'. I was able to move its parent directory to / and then complete the 'pkgclean', but I am left with this weird empty directory, to which I am able to 'cd', but not do anything. The directory name looks like:
...
# ls -al
total 12
drwxr-xr-x   3 root  wheel  512 Dec 16 21:06 .
drwxr-xr-x  23 root  wheel  512 Jan  6 14:51 ..
drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel  512 Dec 16 21:06 @test_8921_tmpæ_SRC
...

If I ktruss any operation, I get:
...
4042   4042 touch    __stat50("@test_8921_tmpæ_SRC", 0xffffffcb8e08) = 0
  4042   4042 touch    utimensat(0xffffff9c, 0xffffffcb94d6, 0xffffffcb8db0, 0) Err#1 EPERM
  4042   4042 touch    utimensat(0xffffff9c, 0xffffffcb94d6, 0, 0) Err#1 EPERM
  4042   4042 touch    write(0x2, 0xffffffcb85a8, 0x7) = 7
       "touch: "
  4042   4042 touch    write(0x2, 0xffffffcb86a8, 0x14) = 20
       "@test_8921_tmp\M-C\M-&_SRC"
  4042   4042 touch    write(0x2, 0xf83c57669928, 0x2) = 2
       ": "
...

I booted the VM (as I mentioned, it is an aarch64 guest on OCI, at the moment running 

# uname -a
NetBSD ci4o2 10.99.12 NetBSD 10.99.12 (GENERIC64) #0: Tue Dec 24 01:19:30 GMT 2024  root%ym1r.lorien.lan@localhost:/bd/sysbuild/evbarm64/obj/home/sysbuild/src/sys/arch/evbarm/compile/GENERIC64 evbarm


and I booted single-user at the console, forced an fsck on the filesystem and tried to remove it (obviously after remounting r/w) again in single-user, to no avail. 


Any idea as to why this might have happened and how to get rid of this directory? I don't think it is because of the æ in the name, I can create another subdirectory containing this character and delete it.
