Create an apparmor profile for it, deny it creating the offending file.
Update a profile as needed. Problem solved.

Sample merkaartor profile attached, took me a minute to make it.

#include <tunables/global>

/usr/bin/merkaartor {
  #include <abstractions/base>
  #include <abstractions/dri-common>
  #include <abstractions/lightdm>
  #include <abstractions/nameservice>
  #include <abstractions/user-tmp>

  deny owner /home/*/merkaartor.log w,

  /proc/sys/kernel/random/boot_id r,
  owner /home/*/.Xauthority r,
  owner /home/*/.cache/fontconfig/* r,
  owner /home/*/.config/** rwl,
