What I can I do to recreate this issue?

What small configuration file can be used to show this problem?

Copy-paste, do not re-type, because that can introduce changes.

For this proxy_temp folder, what is the "ls -ld" or "ls -ldZ" output
for every component of it?

That is:

ls -ldZ /
ls -ldz /usr
ls -ldZ /usr/local

and so forth.

It shouldn't.

Have you any other processes running that check or change folder
permissions? Or does a containing folder have a setting which says that
everything new inside it must have certain ownership?
