[Borgbackup] garbled message borg-1.2.0

Since updating to fedora36, which updates to borg-1.2.0, I'm seeing a
garbled error message, which is a bit worrying.  It is normal to see these
messages about permission denied when backing up these two directories that
are not readable by my user.  But look closely.  It should have said
permission denied on the directory /home/nbecker/nbecker8/etc/openvpn/client

But we see:
Permission denied: 'client'.e=4096,include0,k=64,decim=1,freq=0.1.log.pickle

The part that says:
e=4096,include0,k=64,decim=1,freq=0.1.log.pickle

is part of the name of an unrelated file.  I hope this is just an artifact
of the printing, and not pointing to memory corruption.

Creating archive at
"nbecker at 10.0.0.3:BACKUP/nbecker2::nbecker2-home-2022-05-12"

/home/nbecker/nbecker8/etc/openvpn/client: dir_open: [Errno 13] Permission
denied: 'client'.e=4096,include0,k=64,decim=1,freq=0.1.log.pickle
/home/nbecker/nbecker8/etc/openvpn/server: dir_open: [Errno 13] Permission
