I found another workaround which is more convenient.
Remove the blank file and create a directory.
Then Run :CocInstall will make it successful.

Hm, don't know how to fix it.

I had the same problem and managed to install them with a method described in https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim/issues/1860.

I have a complicated workaround.

mv /home/<user>/.config/coc <a path on local file system>
ln -s <a path on local file system> /home/<user>/.config/coc

Then all the plugins could be installed successfully.

Same problem, on a normally mounted ext4 filesystem. The related issues being closed (without resolution mind you) might give the false impression that only NFS mounts are affected. @you-n-g's quickie works, but a long term fix is certainly something worth exploring.
