The method you described of booting from another Linux with same "root" permission structure or even a live .iso or something is probably the surest way to do it.
Rather than boot from another linux where permissions could be come an issue, if you are working with bookworm64 just boot into bookworm64 in ram. perhaps you have a boot loader entry for that, but I was suggesting an even easier way, Just a another feature you may or may not have seen. so I looked at the vid and I am looking in your bookworm install folder and I see a folder you created named dpupbw64save. and inside it you are showing (at 2:55) another dpupbw64save that looks like blue puppy icon.
is it a file or a folder? click on it and see. If it is a folder, it seems you have a savefolder inside a savefolder. if it is a file, I would think it would have a .4fs file extension, so something seems a bit off
I guess its a little off topic, but I was writing about various ways to boot into ram, when you boot into bookworm, does the boot stop and let you choose from a menu as the pic shows in the screenshot below?

in the rox windows you can see the corresponding pupsaves in my install directory
dpupsave-1 is a savefolder where I appended 1 in the dialog at shutdown
dpupsave.4sf is a savefile
choosing 0 in the menu (and booting into ram or fresh install) lets you make as many saves files or folders as you want.
dpupsave-example is a dummy folder (named such that bookworm thinks it is a save)It has nothing in it. I created it to make the menu appear at boot time. it looks like a normal folder because it does not have a .DirIcon in it. it can be deleted after you have two or more saves.
the lower rox window shows the contents of a save folder(including the .DirIcon) when you open it in rox. (right click on the eye to show hidden files and folders)

I am running 10.0.2 and the names of the saves seem to be different from what you and trawg are reporting. perhaps bookworm created the folder in trawgs install dir, but the .DirIcon is missing?
