Subtle change in default behaviour or did I miss something in the docs?

I am seeing something similar under F12. After updating from mock-1.0.7 
to mock-1.0.11 I could no longer build packages. If I manually ran mock, 
I would see a similar error about not being able to create directories 
in /var/cache/mock.

I have nothing custom on my build server. I had to revert to mock-1.0.7. 
I can build packages again. I diff'd the two site-defaults.cfg between 
1.0.7 and 1.0.11 and the only difference were comments.
