Did you try to delete inetutils-server after the first error showed up?
That wouldn't have had any effect.

The file deletion cookies are always deleted regardless of error state
but that shouldn't matter too much because it shouldn't have been
possible to get into a state where files were moved and the distro was
compromised.  So there is still a *#($& bug there.  I guess I'll have to
set up my test bed again and try to figure out how this happened.

Would you happen to have a timeline for what you did, like:

22:41 UTC created -inetutils-1.9.1-1-src.tar.xz

23:06 UTC oops.

23:09 UTC created a -inetutils-debuginfo/-inetutils-debuginfo-1.9.1-1.tar.xz

?

Maybe I can figure out from that what happened.
