I think that that unwritable postgresql.conf file had probably been
hanging around in your data directory for some time. It was not causing
any particular problem until we decided we ought to fsync everything in
the data directory after a crash. So this is indeed the same case
Christoph was complaining about. But really you should remove that file
not just change its permissions; as is it's just causing confusion.
Thank you very much Tom for explaining the cause, now I will make sure I am not leaving any unused files in the data directory anymore.
