Intentionally broken or just short-term? Is it going to be fixed or
should I use sudo?

No. I didn't edit that!
buildd@grafz-hurd:~$ ls -ld chroot-unstable

Those symlinks are to satisfy wanna-build/sbuild/buildd....

Are there docs about the flags (other than the source ;-)?

No. Only chroot is involved:
instdir defaults to / and
refers to the directory where packages are to be
installed. instdir is also the directory passed to
chroot(2) before running package's installation
scripts, which means that the scripts see instdir
as a root directory. Changing root changes instdir
to dir and admindir to dir/var/lib/dpkg.
