Ah, there's a clue.

I run combined 3.9.0+ & 4.1.0+ binaries (see patch #8469) and always install
OF packages in 3.9.0+ because a number of OF packages simply don't install
in 4.1.0+ (deprecated octave_map is a notable cause for e.g., OF-control). 
All packages installed that way do run fine in 4.1.0+.

So that's why I didn't hit this.  And yes trying it with 4.1.0+ I see the
same issue.

One of the things that changed in default is that OF packages are installed
in multiple threads. Could that be the cause, i.e., that one thread "locks"
files that are needed in another parallel thread? Just a WAG .....
