I'd open a bug report. This behavior looks extremely strange to me - and dangerous. What if e.g. someone would prepare these file names as links to some system files? The system most probably would be corrupted.
But not against YaST, it will be "wontfixed" or "invalid" immediately. Again, it is the fault of whatever you use to raise root powers, that doesn't set the environment $HOME variable.
YaST is doing exactly what *you* tell it to do.
Maybe, but I see it a bit different: a tool run as root must be extra-extra cautious about what it does and where it writes to. It's simply a no-go to overwrite files owner by a regular user. The problem or solution may well be somewhere else, of course. However, I'd expect a YaST maintainer at least to analyze what's going wrong - maybe it's only a local issue or strange/unexpected usage.
