Can you step with a debugger (e.g., Edebug) through
backup-buffer-copy, and see why it errors out?  My crystal ball says
it happens because of set-file-extended-attributes, in which case
please tell what is the value of extended-attributes argument passed
to backup-buffer-copy.

Also, do you see any other error messages in *Messages* when this
happens?
