Assuming it's a bug that has remained unfixed, I suspect it involves triggering a race condition.Can anybody reproduce this? If I ask firefox to save a file under the name of an existing directory (even if the directory is created asynchronously), it wants to save the file inside the directory instead.
If I tell it to overwrite a file (which requires confirmation), it opens the file for writing before it changes the permissions. Though it does change the permissions by name instead of by file descriptor, which is not ideal.
Anyway, good news that OP just needs to chmod +x.
My experience is the slowness of Raspberry Pi tends to made hidden bugs related to timing considerations more likely. Since the original report is about a Pi 5 that may not be correct reasoning in this case.
