I wasn't talking about the POSIX permissions, but about the Windows
ACL.  In your current dir, what does `icacls .' print?  Maybe that
gives a clue.

I just tried it myself with a local machine account and I can't
reproduce this.  My pgid is "None" and the umask of 0022 leads to the
expected POSIX permissions:

  vmbert8164+lcorinna@vmbert8164 ~
  $ umask
  0022

  vmbert8164+lcorinna@vmbert8164 ~
  $ touch bar

  vmbert8164+lcorinna@vmbert8164 ~
  $ ls -l
  total 0
  -rw-r--r-- 1 vmbert8164+lcorinna vmbert8164+None 0 May  5 16:41 bar

  vmbert8164+lcorinna@vmbert8164 ~
  $ chmod 400 bar

  vmbert8164+lcorinna@vmbert8164 ~
  $ ls -l bar
  -r-------- 1 vmbert8164+lcorinna vmbert8164+None 0 May  5 16:41 bar

So I'd say it's not a generic issue but something in your environment.
It would be nice to know what that is, of course.  Maybe there's some
security setting?!?
