In answer to my own question, it's not related to the content.
Here we can see a PrivFile has content:
[[!format text \"\"\"
╭─ convex:~/.propellor 
╰─ (git)-[master]-% propellor --dump 'PrivFile \"/root/foo\"' 'any'
[2020-08-22 16:57:32 ADT] command line:  Dump (PrivFile \"/root/foo\") (Context \"any\")
[2020-08-22 16:57:32 ADT] read: git [\"config\",\"gpg.program\"]

\"\"\"]]
On the other hand, when running `propellor --spin convex.local` I get
[[!format text \"\"\"
** warning: Missing privdata PrivFile \"/root/foo\" (for any)
Fix this by running:
  propellor --set 'PrivFile \"/root/foo\"' 'any' \
    < /root/foo
\"\"\"]]

I tried with a different workstation, spinning itself, and the same machine as above (\"convex\"), with the same results.
