Thanks to much debugging by Herb Schulz off-list the source of the problem has
now been identified, I think.
There are two dvipdfmx.cfg in tlpretest:
% kpsewhich -progname=dvipdfmx -format=othertext -all dvipdfmx.cfg
/usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-config/dvipdfmx/dvipdfmx.cfg
/usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-dist/dvipdfmx/dvipdfmx.cfg
The one in texmf-config has precedence, and its call of gs includes
-dDELAYSAFER (a synonym for -dNOSAFER):
D "rungs -q -dALLOWPSTRANSPARENCY -dDELAYSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dEPSCrop
-sPAPERSIZE=a0 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=%v
-dAutoFilterGrayImages=false -dGrayImageFilter=/FlateEncode
-dAutoFilterColorImages=false -dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode
-dAutoRotatePages=/None -sOutputFile='%o' '%i' -c quit"
It's used by default, and gives no error with TransparencyTest.xdv.
The version in texmf-dist is the one modified by Akira, and its call of gs
includes -dSAFER:
D "rungs -q -dALLOWPSTRANSPARENCY -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dEPSCrop
-sPAPERSIZE=a0 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=%v
-dAutoFilterGrayImages=false -dGrayImageFilter=/FlateEncode
-dAutoFilterColorImages=false -dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode
-dAutoRotatePages=/None -sOutputFile='%o' '%i' -c quit"
It's this version which gives the error reported by Akira with
TransparencyTest.xdv:
[1Error: /invalidfileaccess in --run--

By the way, I tried removing -dSAFER from this second version: the output is
the same, confirming that -dSAFER is indeed the gs default.
