Well then I would to manually change the code in the stage (?) area
which would be not at all an optimal workflow.

It happens when the ipe application triggers pdflatex.

Working example:
After having build and installed the ipe snap from

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dietmarw/snaps/master/ipe/

you can run

ipe.ipetoipe -pdf test.ipe

on https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dietmarw/snaps/master/ipe/test/test.ipe

and should get:
$ ipe.ipetoipe -pdf test.ipe
Document test.ipe has 1 pages (1 views)
pdflatex: /etc/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf: Permission denied
There was an error trying to run Pdflatex.
