we can't reproduce this bug.
Would it be possible to have access to your server?

Can happen if SELinux is activated.
How is the permission check done?
SELinux prevents writing even though the permissions are on e.g. 777 or 755.
If the routine checks for permission mask it might won't find any directory with wrong permissions while reading.

Check for SELinux status.

So it's a server side problem. The directory is not writable because of a bad server configuration.

eg: Joomla doesn't have a specific file system check for SE linux, but people using SE linux learn how to configure it so Joomla can write into the cache directory

We use the standard PHP function to check if a directory or file is writable.
This is not a LimeSurvey bug - I added an entry to the installation FAQ, see https://manual.limesurvey.org/Installation_FAQ#Stuck_at_checking_file_system_permissions
