Both good questions. For example, right now bup's handling of
differences between the source and destination filesystems could
likely use improvement.

Any chance you still have the file around, and if so, assuming the
output isn't sensitive, I wonder what "ls -l", "stat" and "lsattr" say
about it?
And even if you don't still have it in the filesystem, I wonder what
these commands say:
bup ls -l home-dir/latest/home/redacted/#.fetchmailrc#
bup cat-file --meta home-dir/latest/home/redacted/#.fetchmailrc# \
bup meta -tvvf -

I'm fairly sure that normally #file# should be handled without any
trouble. I think there's something else going on here.

I wonder if adding this to the restore might provide a workaround for
now:
--exclude-rx '^/redacted/#\.fetchmailrc#$'
Or perhaps:
--exclude-rx '^redacted/#\.fetchmailrc#$'
Not sure which one is correct offhand.
Hope this helps
