That's interesting, but rather odd, as it suggests that run as root dnf just *happens* to have a *different* issue involving the same file (since obviously, when run as root, it wouldn't have had any problem accessing it). I don't suppose you kept a backup of the file? That would be very helpful for investigating the problem...
Sorry, I am obsessive about backups of /home and /etc, but I do not backup /var. I just ran rm on the file on all of my machines. In hindsight I should have moved it away not rm.
