Does chattr -R +S on Steam/SteamApps/<username> not work for you?

No, I don't think it has anything to do with ClientRegistry.blob, and that
deleting it only works because it flushes some other files out of the cache due
to all the activity generated by recreating it.

Something to try would be to dumping your caches as described at
http://linux-mm.org/Drop_Caches i.e. run "sync; echo 3 >
/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches"
