Comment (by Thunderforge):

 I did some further investigation and found that this is another
 manifestation of #11427, which I was still set up for.

 Because the default location for ScummVM saves is `~/Documents` (instead
 of `~/Library/Application Support` as recommended by Apple), recent
 versions of macOS such as macOS 11 ask the user for permission to give
 ScummVM access to the Documents folder. I had denied access, and this
 resulted because WOAM tries to write a file when it starts up.

 If I give ScummVM access to `~/Documents` (System Preferences → Security &
 Privacy → Files and Folders → ScummVM → Documents Folder), then this issue
 goes away.
