I believe that I fixed this one.  It was reported on the mailing list also.

John, the issue was that the flatpak didn't allow opening or saving files in the user's home directory, which is obviously a big problem.

I'm afraid I don't understand this report.  I'm not familiar with Flatpak.  If someone can explain concisely what the suggestion is, then we can consider it.

... other flatpak-apps can write and read from disk as expected

It's not possible to read or write from/to disk.
The default directory displayed on opening the save (or the open-) dialogue is empty but for the file pspp.jnl. This file can NOT be found by find in any location on the system.

No error messages in output-window when saving actual data (SAVE OUTFILE="/home/johnny/data_from_pspp.sav".)
No error messages if a folder is created in the ghost-directory
By entering paths in the file-name-field of the save-dialogue one can see that reading of the directory is possible (because existing folders are displayed, eg./var/ results in cache/ config/ data/ ...)

Might be an issue due to GTK/Plasma ...

PSPP installed with flatpak via flathub by KDE-own appstore "Discover" (and I tried on commandline ... no difference)
