I have seen this for Asteroids (http://wiki.tcl.tk/13601) and for one
of the Bubble games (http://wfr.tcl.tk/734). Have you seen any others?
 It is an attempt by those games to save high score files. I think
they save to the current directory which happens to be inside the
starkit which is not writable. I think the fix will probably be to
change those games so they save to the user's home directory or
something.

As a short-term fix you can extract the starkit and run unwrapped:

sdx unwrap tkgamepack.kit
tclkit tkgamepack.vfs/main.tcl

This has been fixed for a while. I have not uploaded tkgamepack to
sdarchive, so plain "sdx update tkgamepack.kit" doesn't work. Instead,
use the following (as explained at http://wiki.tcl.tk/13376):

sdx update -from http://tkoutline.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/sync.cgi
tkgamepack.kit
