not yet sure if new git annex version (likely, I think I uploaded new standalone to debian back then)

FWIW -- yes, relates to git-annex new version

$> grep Versions {10/pr/6932/f80a141/github-Extensions-5374-success,11/pr/6935/9d6dc72/github-Extensions-5378-failed}/4_test\ \(datalad-crawler\).txt

so went from 10.20220322-1~ndall+1 to 10.20220724-1~ndall+1 and now we are observing errors like

2022-08-11T22:26:38.4004204Z E           datalad.runner.exception.CommandError: CommandError: 'git -c diff.ignoreSubmodules=none annex add -c 'annex.largefiles=exclude=Makefile and exclude=LICENSE* and exclude=ISSUES* and exclude=CHANGES* and exclude=README* and exclude=ReadMe.txt and exclude=*.[mc] and exclude=dataset*.json and exclude=license.txt and (exclude=*.txt or include=*/*.txt) and (exclude=*.json or include=*/*.json) and (exclude=*.tsv or include=*/*.tsv)' --json --json-error-messages -c annex.dotfiles=true -- .' failed with exitcode 1 under /tmp/datalad_temp_test_openfmri_pipeline1vv3jbs5q [info keys: stdout_json] [err: 'git-annex: ds666.tar.gz: getSymbolicLinkStatus: does not exist (No such file or directory)']

and it reproduces locally with annex 10.20220724+git120-g7286f408f-1~ndall+1 -- so now need to figure out what lead to this new problem, uff (attn @joeyh)
