The salt master service in /lib/systemd/system/salt-master.service is
configured as following:

[Service]
User=salt
Group=salt
CacheDirectory=salt/master
RuntimeDirectory=salt
StateDirectory=salt/pki/master

Which means that systemd should take care to correctly set the
permission in /var/cache/salt/master, /run/salt, and
/var/lib/salt/pki/master.

This might be a systemd bug. Further troubleshooting is needed...
