I believe it does, move_uploaded_file() uses the current envirionment's umask which seems to be set at an awkward stage. what is the output of: echo umask; I bet its '11'. I'm not sure how your system is configured but it seems the user apache is running under has that umask set that way which, IMO, is a bad thing (tm).
