This appears to be the case here as well.

ALL6500 uses schroot while other buildd's use sudo. As a workaround I can
change buildd's $HOME to match inside schroot to the one outside
(/home/buildd) and reschedule perl.

I believe /nonexistent is used to catch packages trying to write to
$HOME during builds.
